Ingredients- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 paper cup of water (approx. 50ml)
- 1/3 spoon of salt (approx. 2-3g)
- 1/3 spoon of sugar (approx. 2-3g)
- 1/2 slice of cheddar cheese
- 2 spoons of mozzarella cheese
- A little cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 5 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1/3 paper cup of water, 1/3 spoon of salt, and 1/3 spoon of sugar. Gently whisk the mixture until well combined, being careful not to create too much foam. The sugar helps to balance the eggy flavor and enhance the overall taste.
Step 2
Prepare a small earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) for steaming. Lightly coat the inside of the pot, including the bottom and sides, with a little cooking oil. This crucial step prevents the steamed eggs from sticking and ensures a silky-smooth texture. It also makes serving much easier.
Step 3
Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture into the oiled earthenware pot. Fill the pot only up to about 80% of its capacity. This leaves enough room for the eggs to expand as they cook without overflowing.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to cook over high heat. Using chopsticks or a spatula, gently stir the egg mixture, scraping the sides and bottom of the pot. This constant motion prevents the eggs from curdling and ensures even cooking, resulting in a tender, custard-like consistency. Continue stirring for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Once the egg mixture begins to form soft curds, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to gently stir and scrape the sides of the pot as the eggs cook. When the mixture is about 70-80% cooked and has a soft, pudding-like consistency, it’s ready for the next step.
Step 6
With the steamed eggs partially cooked, generously top them with 1/2 slice of cheddar cheese and 2 spoons of mozzarella cheese. The cheese will melt into the eggs, adding a rich, creamy, and savory flavor. Arrange the cheese nicely for an appealing presentation.
Step 7
After adding the cheese, cover the earthenware pot with a plate or lid that fits well. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let it steam for 2-3 minutes. This residual heat will finish cooking the eggs gently, make them extra moist, and allow the cheese to melt completely, creating your ultimate cheese bomb steamed eggs.
