Kim Dae-seok's Cafeteria-Style Steamed Eggs

A batch-style egg custard with a chewy, non-crumbly texture made by mixing glutinous rice flour into the egg mixture.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding glutinous rice flour strengthens the egg custard’s structure, preventing it from crumbling when sliced and giving it a chewy texture.
  • Be sure to coat the inside of the heatproof container thoroughly with sesame oil so the custard releases cleanly after steaming.
  • Avoid high heat—this can cause holes and a coarse texture. Always maintain medium-low heat throughout cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the chewy, clean-cut egg custard often served at school lunches or buffets.
  • Parents looking to make a simple, delicious, savory egg side dish kids love.
  • Anyone frustrated with egg custard that always breaks apart or becomes too watery.
