Recipe

Crack 6 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, and a little sesame oil, then whisk gently until smooth.
Pour in water (or dashima broth) slightly less than the volume of the eggs and mix evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into an earthenware pot or small saucepan until it reaches about 80% of the height, then turn on the heat.
Over medium heat, continuously scrape the bottom and sides of the pot with a spoon to prevent the egg from sticking, stirring constantly.
Keep stirring until the egg becomes lumpy and about 80% cooked, with curds starting to form.
Cover the pot tightly with a round bowl or lid, reduce the heat to the lowest setting (very low heat), and let it steam for 2 minutes.
When it puffs up and steam rises, turn off the heat, remove the lid, and finish by drizzling a drop of sesame oil and sprinkling whole sesame seeds on top.

Mix eggs, salt, sugar, sesame oil, and water to make a smooth egg mixture.
Pour into an earthenware pot and cook over medium heat, continuously scraping the bottom until lumpy.
When about 80% cooked, cover and steam over very low heat for 2 minutes to puff up.

Cooking tips

When cracking eggs, tap them on a flat surface instead of a sharp edge to prevent shell fragments from getting into the egg mixture.
To make it puff up like a bomb, the egg mixture must fill at least 80% of the pot or saucepan so it can rise.
If you don't scrape the bottom properly, the egg will easily burn, so keep stirring every corner as if making scrambled eggs.
Once the heat is off, it will gradually deflate over time, so serve immediately while hot for the best experience.
