STEP 1/16
It tastes better to make kelp water with kelp than using plain water. You can leave the dried kelp in cold water for 30 minutes, then take out the kelp and use it.
STEP 2/16
When you don't have time, boil it right away and take out the kelp. If you boil it for too long, the essence will come out of the kelp, so when the water starts to boil, boil it for 2-3 minutes.
STEP 3/16
Take out the kelp.
STEP 4/16
Remove the string from the egg first. It's because there's a lot of cholesterol in the string. It's not a very fine steamed egg, so you don't need to sift it. However, when you make steamed eggs for Japanese food, you must strain them through a sieve.
STEP 5/16
Chop half a green onion and a little carrot. For vegetables, you can chop pumpkin, chop chives, or add your favorite ingredients at home. You can chop up crab sticks.
STEP 6/16
I think steamed eggs are good with salted shrimp, but if you add salted shrimp, it's clean because there's no jjigae. If you don't have it, just chop the salted shrimp and squeeze it in.
STEP 7/16
Add 4 eggs, chopped vegetables, and 2 tsp shrimp sauce.
STEP 8/16
It's better to add half a spoon of flower salt than just salted shrimp.
STEP 10/16
When the kelp water boils, pour all the egg water.
STEP 11/16
Keep stirring with a spoon.
STEP 12/16
You can feel the egg getting tangled while stirring.
STEP 13/16
Stir it with a spoon and when it's 80% cooked
STEP 14/16
Close the lid. It's not good if the lid is too heavy. This is because the lid is heavy and the egg cannot swell up. If you don't have a lid on the earthen pot itself, cover it with a regular pot lid.
STEP 15/16
After a minute or two, the egg swells up and the lid of the pot opens. So the lid shouldn't be too heavy. The lid shown in the picture is lighter than it looks.
STEP 16/16
It's swollen a lot. The simple delicious steamed egg is completed.
