계란찜

Gyeran-jjim (계란찜)

Steamed egg custard — the banchan that tastes like a Korean diner.

Heat: none · Vegetarian: yes (check stock)

Ratio and gentle heat

Beat eggs with about an equal volume of water or dashi, strain if you want silk. Steam covered or microwave in short bursts, stirring once so it sets evenly. A drop of sesame oil and scallion at the end. Salted shrimp is traditional; salt is fine. Do not boil it into rubber.
