Start by making the broth for the steamed eggs.

3

Add 1/4 teaspoon of beef bouillon powder or yandu or a pinch of MSG.

4

Pour in 1 cup of hot water and cover with plastic wrap, letting it come to room temperature.

5

Once the broth is at room temperature, remove the tasima and ginger, and filter the broth.

6

In a mixing bowl, crack 5 eggs and whisk them until well mixed.

7

Pour the filtered broth into the egg mixture and gently mix.

Add 1 tablespoon of medium Korean cooking wine to the mixture and stir.

Pour the mixture into three small bowls, filling them about 2/3 full.

11

Boil water in a steamer pot and place the steamer basket on top.

12

Carefully place the bowls in the steamer, ensuring there's room between each bowl.

13

Cover the bowls with lids or plastic wrap and steam on high heat for 15 minutes.

14

After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the steamer for 2-3 minutes without heat.
