Ingredients
- 6 Eggs
- 0.75 cup Kelp Broth
- 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
- 2 stalks Green Onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
Instructions
- 1
Whisk eggs thoroughly and strain through a fine-mesh sieve twice to remove all chalazae for a smooth texture.
- 2
In a traditional stone pot (dolsot) or small heavy-bottomed pot, bring the kelp broth and fish sauce to a boil.
- 3
Turn heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs while whisking constantly in a circular motion.
- 4
Once the eggs start to clump (about 70% cooked), cover with a bowl of the same size to create a dome.
- 5
Reduce heat to the lowest setting and cook for 3-4 minutes until the steam creates a 'poof' effect.
- 6
Garnish with minced green onions and chili flakes immediately.
