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.
