A recipe for soft, puffy egg custard that rises like bread, just like the restaurant version.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding just a pinch of baking powder makes the custard puff up dramatically, especially if chilled before cooking.
  • Straining the egg mixture removes strings and results in a much smoother texture.
  • Lowering the heat when the egg is about half-cooked prevents scorching at the bottom.
  • Placing another clay pot of the same size on top traps steam and helps the custard rise evenly from the top down.
  • For extra flavor, garnish with roe, cheese, sesame oil, or red pepper flakes according to taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully recreate restaurant-style puffed egg custard at home.
  • People looking for soft, moist egg dishes.
  • Anyone seeking a simple, universally loved side dish suitable for all ages.
