Ttukdak Hyung's Delivery Steamed Egg

🙋 Recommended for

  • ⭐ Those who urgently need a moist and soft side dish to soothe their tongue after eating spicy food.
  • ⭐ Those who have experienced failure with steamed eggs due to burnt bottoms or difficult heat control, like in a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot).
  • ⭐ Those who want to make a soft side dish very quickly and easily without using a stove, in the morning or in their dorm/studio apartment.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of beef Dashida
  • A pinch of chopped green onion
  • A pinch of sesame oil
  • A pinch of sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk for a softer taste.
  2. Add salt and beef Dashida to taste and mix well to evenly break down the eggs.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a microwave-safe container. (For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine sieve before pouring.)
  4. Cover the container loosely with the lid and microwave (1000W) for about 4 minutes. (For a 700W microwave, cook for 5 minutes.)
  5. Once cooked, remove from the microwave and sprinkle with chopped green onions, savory sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
  6. Cover the container completely with the lid and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds to let it steam through completely.
  1. Mix eggs, water, and milk, season with salt and Dashida, then pour into a container.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave for 4 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame oil, cover completely, and microwave for another 30 seconds to steam.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If straining the mixture is too much trouble, you can skip it without affecting the cooking, but for an ultimate pudding-like softness, straining is highly recommended.
  • If you don't have milk, you can substitute the milk with an equal amount of water for a clean-tasting steamed egg.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's power; if the center is still too jiggly after 4 minutes, increase the cooking time slightly.
