Ingredients
- 6 large eggs well beaten
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken stock
- 1 tsp Korean salted shrimp liquid only, optional
- 2 pinches kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp sesame oil optional
- 1 tbsp finely chopped green onion optional
Instructions
- Combine eggs, salted shrimp (if using), and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add baking powder and beat them well until frosty.
- Pour chicken stock in a pot and bring it to boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Slowly pour egg mixture into the chicken stock as you stir gently with a spoon.
- Keep stirring the egg mixture, scraping it as necessary from the side of the pot to the center. You will want to stir until the egg mixture reaches 80% cooked, about 2 minutes.
- Cover the pot with a dome shaped heat-safe bowl immediately. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and remove the lid (make sure to wear kitchen gloves). You will see the egg mixture has risen well above the rim of your pot.
