Korean Steamed Egg

Korean Steamed Egg (Gyeranjjim)

Is this an omelette? Not sure. But it looks so good and this project is just an excuse for me to learn how to make it. You'll need a stove-top safe clay or ceramic pot. You'll need 4-5 large eggs, a cup of any broth or water, 3/4 teaspoon of fish sauce, and 2 tbsp of chopped scallions.There are a few methods to cook the eggs, but today we will place the bowl in a stock pot.

  1. Beat the eggs as finely as you possibly can. Pass it throgh a strainer if you need to. Mix in the broth and fish sauce.
  2. Grease your bowl with sesame oil or another cooking oil.
  3. Bring water to a gentle boil in your stock pot. The water should only cover half the height of the clay bowl. Cover the pot.
  4. After 7 minutes, stir the eggs. Add the scallions and cover for 5 minutes, or until it looks ready.
