Seasoning & Liquid
- 1/2 cup water (using a standard paper cup for measurement)
- 1/5 cup milk (using a standard paper cup for measurement)
- 1 Tbsp Yeondu Woori Kong (premium cooking essence made from fermented Korean soybeans and vegetable broth)

- 1 Tbsp Yeondu Woori Kong (premium cooking essence made from fermented Korean soybeans and vegetable broth)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The secret to delicious steamed eggs lies in the seasoning! While salt or salted shrimp are common, today we’re using ‘Yeondu Woori Kong,’ a premium cooking essence, to bring a deep, savory flavor. Adding a splash of milk enhances the incredibly smooth texture.
Step 2
First, crack 2 fresh eggs into a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin. For an extra-silky texture, you can strain the eggs to remove the chalazae (the white stringy bits), but if you’re short on time on a busy morning, don’t worry – making it without straining is still perfectly delicious!
Step 3
To the bowl with the eggs, add 1/2 cup of water and 1/5 cup of milk. Use a standard paper cup for easy and consistent measurement.
Step 4
Now, let’s add 1 tablespoon of ‘Yeondu Woori Kong’ to elevate your meal. This premium cooking essence is made from fermented Korean soybeans and a broth of local vegetables. It’s gluten-free and safe for children, making it a great way to add nutrition and flavor to picky eaters’ meals.
Step 5
Almost all the prep work is done! Once ‘Yeondu Woori Kong’ is added, gently mix all the ingredients together using a spoon or whisk until well combined. Ensure the yolks and whites are fully incorporated for an even texture.
Step 6
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. To prevent the wrap from ballooning and to ensure the egg mixture cooks evenly, use a fork to poke a few small holes in the wrap, creating steam vents.
Step 7
Now for the magic step! Place the covered bowl in the microwave and cook for exactly 3 minutes. Microwave cooking times can vary, so it’s a good idea to check after about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. If needed, add another 30-second intervals until perfectly set.
Step 8
Voilà! Your microwave steamed egg is ready, infused with the rich flavor of ‘Yeondu Woori Kong’ and the creaminess of milk. Garnish with the finely chopped green onions for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy it warm for the best taste!
