Description

Fluffy, savory Korean steamed eggs (Gyeran-jjim) made with eggs, warm broth, and a touch of sesame oil. This comforting side dish is light, airy, and ready in minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup warm water or broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional: minced garlic, diced shrimp, chopped mushrooms, or shredded cheese


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, crack the eggs and add salt and warm water or broth.
  2. Whisk gently until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a preheated stone pot or small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  4. Stir gently for 2–3 minutes, then cover with a lid or foil.
  5. Steam for 7–10 minutes until the eggs are set and slightly puffed.
  6. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with sliced green onions.
  7. Serve hot, straight from the pot or bowl.

Notes

  • Use broth instead of water for extra flavor.
  • Stirring early helps create a smoother custard texture.
  • Keep the heat low to prevent curdling.
