Ddukbaegi Gaeran Jim (Egg Casserole)
뚝배기 계란찜
I had this gaeran jjim in a restaurant and decided to try to make my own recipe based on it. This version of gaeran jjim, or egg casserole, instead of the kind that I usually make (gyeran jjim recipe), isn't steamed in a double boiler -- I use a Korean-style ddukbaegi pot directly on the stove. Also, I add some additional ingredients that I wouldn't normally, like fermented fish and fish roe.
Recipe Ingredients:
- korean earthenware pot (ddukbaegi 뚝배기) or small stovetop casserole dish
- 1 cup of water
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp of fermented pickled shrimp (saewoojut 새우젓)
- dash of salt
- 1-2 stalks of green onions, chopped
- flying fish roe (tobiko), for garnish - optional
Recipe Steps:
- Pour the water in the ddukbaegi (뚝배기) or casserole dish. Bring the water to a rapid boil on the stovetop. Add a dash of salt.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, whip the eggs well. Finely mince the teaspoon of fermented shrimp / saewoojut 새우젓, then whip into the eggs as well.
- Pour the eggs slowly in the dish, stirring the bottom for a few seconds. Cover, then bring the heat down to medium-low for approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat when the egg has puffed up.
- Garnish with the flying fish roe and the green onions. Serve hot and immediately, before it cools down (and deflates).

Great comfort food. Didn't have any of the pickled shrimp around so omitted that and it's still tasty. I like adding crushed sesame seeds to the mixture too for a little extra flavor. Simple meal with a bowl of rice and spicy kimchi!
