Korean Steamed Egg Custard (???)

Steamed egg custard. One of my favorite side dishes. Whenever Korean restaurants serve this, I get super excited, and I'm usually the first one to dig in. It's a childhood favorite.



It's simple and quite tasty. You can add whatever you like to this egg custard. Chopped meats, peppers, whatever you think would go nicely. You can also leave it plain or sprinkle a bit of chili pepper powder.

Ingredients

3 Eggs

1/2 Scallion, chopped

2/3 cup Water

Sesame Seeds

Salt



Directions

1. Whisk the eggs and add the water & salt and mix well. Pour egg mixture into heat proof bowl and place the bowl in a large pot filled with water. Making sure the water level is no more than 3/4 up the heat proof bowl.



2. Steam the egg custard covered for 15 minutes on medium heat. Add the scallions and sesame seeds and steam for an additional 5-7 minutes.



3. Alternatively, you can microwave this egg custard. It doesn't turn out as pretty but tastes just as good. Pour the egg mixture in a heat proof dish and place the dish in a larger bowl. This is so that your microwave remains clean as the water and egg will overflow. Microwave for about 1 minute 35 seconds on high heat. Check to see that the egg has solidified.



Serve hot. Enjoy!
