Fluffy Korean Steamed Eggs in Two Ways | Gyeran Jjim

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil adds healthy fats without compromising flavor.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + seasoning

Vegetable broth can lower sodium while maintaining flavor.

tofu

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: none

Silken tofu is a great substitute for creaminess.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium options reduce salt intake.

Crack eggs into a mixing bowl and beat until well combined.

Add water and salt to the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.

Finely chop green onions and add to the egg mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, and pepper.

Add the sesame oil mixture to the egg mixture and stir well.

Prepare a steamer pot with water and bring to a simmer.

Pour the egg mixture into a heatproof dish or bowl.

Place the dish in the steamer and cover with a lid.

Steam the egg mixture for about 15-20 minutes, or until set.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Once cooked, remove from the steamer and let cool slightly.

Garnish with additional green onions and red pepper flakes before serving.
