Korean Steamed Egg (Gaeran Jim)
A soft, savory Korean steamed egg custard seasoned with scallions. Recipe Variations: experiment with chili pepper flakes, sesame seeds and small-diced vegetables (mushrooms, sweet bell peppers, zucchini, sweet corn); substitute broth (beef, chicken, seafood or vegetable) for the water for a robust flavor; swap some of the salt for soy sauce; or top with a sprinkling of cheese for a non-traditional touch.

Ingredients
| 4 | eggs | |
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | water |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | salt |
| 1 | scallion, chopped |
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a heat-safe bowl (porcelain or stoneware work best), whisk together the eggs, water, salt and scallions until fully combined.
- If using a microwave, cover the bowl with a plate and cook for 4 minutes.
- If steaming on a stovetop, add the bowl to a steamer and steam for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tip: If you don't have a steamer, put the heatproof bowl in a large pot with a few inches of water at the bottom and steam for 15 minutes over medium-low heat. The water should go only halfway up the bowl.
