Korean Steamed Egg in Hot Pot (Gyeran/Kyeran Jjim 계란찜)
Korean Steamed Egg or Gyeran Jjim in Hot Pot is often served at Korean BBQ restaurants. They cook it directly on the fire and it comes to you in a hot stone pot, steaming – hot, hot. Sometimes the bottom part will be burnt and this is absolutely my favorite part.

- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp sugar

- Whip 4 eggs in a bowl and add water. Mix again.
- Add green onions + saewoojeot mixture from 1 and mix with egg.
- Add to your favorite hot pot (ttukbaegi 뚝배기) and put on the stove on MEDIUM heat, covered for 7-8 min.
- At this point, egg should be semi cooked, still very watery. Stir the egg mixture (bring bottom to top) to ensure even cooking. Cover again.
- Turn heat to LOW. Finish cooking for another 3 min.
- Cook a little more if you like the bottom to be a little burnt. But not more than 1 – 2 min.
