Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use a small clay pot—larger ones won’t puff up properly into the signature bomb shape.
  • Stir constantly by scraping the bottom and sides with a spoon to prevent the eggs from sticking and burning, ensuring a smooth texture.
  • Keep the heat as low as possible during steaming to avoid scorching the bottom while ensuring the center cooks evenly and stays moist.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make a puffy, soft bomb egg custard at home like in a grill restaurant.
  • People who want to use dried anchovy to add rich umami flavor without fishy odor.
  • Anyone looking for a simple yet visually impressive egg side dish.
