Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional, for seasoning)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well until fully combined and smooth.

Step 2

Add water, fish sauce (if using), and salt to the eggs. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Choose a small, heat-proof earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) or a small saucepan that can retain heat well. Place it over medium heat and add the egg mixture.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently stir the egg mixture continuously as it begins to set. This helps create a soft and fluffy texture.

Step 5

Once the mixture starts thickening (about 2-3 minutes in), cover the pot with a lid, lower the heat to medium-low, and let it steam undisturbed for another 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are puffed up and fully cooked.

Step 6

Carefully remove the pot from the heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the steamed eggs.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or as part of a Korean meal.
