Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using hot water to steep the kelp helps temper the egg mixture to a slightly warm temperature, reducing microwave cooking time and resulting in a smoother, pudding-like texture.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on microwave power; if the egg is undercooked after 3 minutes, heat in 30-second intervals until fully set.
  • salted shrimp can clump if solid bits remain, so strain it carefully to use only the liquid—this ensures even seasoning and better control over flavor.

Recommended for

  • People who don’t have time to cook on the stove before work.
  • Those wanting a convenient, satisfying egg side dish without the hassle of washing dishes.
  • Fans of delicate, smooth textures like custard, made with savory broth from salted shrimp and kelp.
