5 Minute Microwave Korean Steamed Eggs - Easiest Gyeranjjim Recipe
Today I'm going to show you the easiest Korean Steamed Eggs recipe you can make in just 5 minutes using a microwave. You don't even need to turn on the stove - all you need is some eggs!Even though it's super simple, it tastes just like the rich, homemade gyeran jjim(계란찜) my mom used to make in a ttukbaegi over the stove.
Equipment
- 1 Microwave
- 1 ttukbaegi (or a microwave safe bowl)
- 1 Plate (for covering)
- 1 Whisk
- 1 kitchen scissors
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 180 ml water
- 1 tbsp tuna sauce (tuna extract, check substitutes above on the blog post)
- 1 pinch salt (you can skip, as your preference)
- 5 g green onion (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 pinch sesame seeds
Instructions
- Thinly slice the green part of the green onion for garnish.
- In a microwave-safe earthenware bowl (ttukbaegi) or any microwave-safe bowl, beat 3 eggs well.
- Add 1 tablespoon of tuna sauce and mix. If you want a slightly saltier taste, add a pinch of salt (optional).
- Pour in 180ml of water and stir to combine.
- Cover the bowl with a plate and microwave at 600W for 5 minutes.
- Check by inserting a chopstick; if no raw egg sticks, it’s done.
- Top with green onion slices, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
