Ingredients

  • 5 Eggs
  • 2 cups Dashi Vegetable, or Chicken stock
  • 1.5 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 0.5 tbsp Sugar
  • Green Onion

Instructions

  • Prepare the steamer by adding water at the bottom and turning the heat to medium-high heat. Once the water is simmering, the steamer is ready.
  • Whisk eggs and warm stock together. Whisk until it is thoroughly combined.
  • Strain the egg and remove any bubbles on top
  • Place egg in the steamer for 15 minutes. Before closing the lid, add two chopsticks on each side of the steamer; that way, air can flow in and cook the Steamed eggs evenly.
  • Mix soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil together. Whisk until sugar is fully dissolved
  • Place a spoon lightly on top of the egg; if it doesn’t sink, that means the egg is cooked.
  • Drizzle the sauce all over the egg and garnish it with green onion. Pair with rice or other vegetables! ENJOY!

Notes

If you don’t have a steamer, I recommend making my Korean Steamed Eggs recipe instead. One of the EASIEST ways to enjoy fluffy and tasty eggs delicious every single time is to make Korean Steamed Eggs – Gyeran Jjim. Korean Steamed Eggs is a popular side dish that takes less than 15 minutes to make and is super affordable. Fluffy, light, and filled with umami flavors!
