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.
