Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 4 eggs
- Seasoned salt 2g (about 1/4 tablespoon)
- Chicken stock powder (or beef dashida) 2g (about 1/4 tablespoon)
- Water 400ml (about 2 1/4 paper cups)
- Green onion or scallion, to taste
- Sesame oil, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Recipe 🍳
- In a deep microwave-safe container, crack 4 eggs and mix well with chopsticks to break up the chalazae.
- Pour in 400ml water, add 2g seasoned salt and 2g chicken stock powder, and shake or stir thoroughly to dissolve the seasoning.
- For an even smoother texture, strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or colander once to remove any remaining chalazae and impurities.
- Tap the sides of the container to pop any lingering air bubbles on the surface of the egg mixture.
- Place the lid on the container, leaving it slightly ajar at an angle—do not seal completely—and put it in the microwave.
- First, microwave for 3 minutes.
- Take it out, gently shake the container to check the doneness, then microwave again for 1 minute. Repeat this 1-minute heating two more times (for a total of three additional 1-minute rounds).
- Once the center is set and jiggly, top with finely chopped green onion or scallion, drizzle sesame oil, and sprinkle black pepper to finish.
- Mix eggs with water, seasoned salt, and chicken stock powder, then strain to remove air bubbles.
- Cover with the lid at an angle, microwave for 3 minutes, then check and cook 1 minute at a time, three more times.
- When set and jiggly, garnish with sesame oil, black pepper, and green onion to complete.
Cooking tips 💡
- If you microwave the entire 6 minutes at once, it will overcook, causing the surface to become dry and porous with holes. You must heat in intervals while checking the texture.
- Remove as many surface bubbles as possible by tapping the container or using a spoon; this ensures a smooth, pudding-like finish.
