Cooking tips 💡

• Let the eggs sit at room temperature for 1–2 hours after taking them out of the refrigerator before boiling—this prevents cracking and makes peeling easier.
• Sautéing the onions in butter until golden and caramelized is the most crucial step—it eliminates the heaviness of gochujang and amplifies the umami depth.
• Do not reduce the sauce too much; leaving it slightly thick and moist ensures a juicy, flavorful texture when mixed with rice.
