Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 6-7 gyoja mandu
  • 2 eggs
  • Tomato sauce (or ketchup) as needed
  • Plenty of mozzarella cheese
  • Sriracha sauce to taste
  • Cooking oil as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat a frying pan with oil and arrange the gyoja mandu in a hexagonal or circular shape, starting to fry the bottom side.
  2. Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and whisk thoroughly with chopsticks until the egg whites are broken up and smooth.
  3. When the bottom of the mandu is golden brown, pour the egg mixture evenly into the empty spaces between the mandu to cover the pan bottom.
  4. When the egg is slightly set, spread tomato sauce or ketchup roughly on top with a spoon.
  5. Generously top with mozzarella cheese for richness, and drizzle sriracha sauce in a lattice pattern for a spicy kick.
  6. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook gently for about 1 minute until the cheese is fully melted and gooey. Cut with scissors and serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • To prevent the egg layer from sticking or burning, be sure to use a pan with a good nonstick coating and keep the heat low.
  • If you don't have sriracha, you can use Tabasco hot sauce or chili powder for a clean spiciness that balances the richness of the cheese.
