Ingredients
- 6 egg
- 0.5 onion
- 3 garlic
- 2 green onion
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 5 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Korean red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp MSG
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1Crack the six large eggs into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt if desired, and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully blended and slightly frothy.
- 2Prepare the aromatics: dice the half yellow onion, mince the three garlic cloves, and slice the two green onion stalks into thin diagonal pieces.
- 3Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat; add a drizzle of oil (or a small pat of butter) and allow it to melt.
- 4Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, then add the minced garlic and sliced green onion, continuing to sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
- 5Reduce the heat to low‑medium and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, stirring gently with a silicone spatula to create soft curds while keeping the aromatics evenly distributed.
- 6In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, water, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, Korean red pepper flakes, and MSG; stir until the mixture is smooth.
- 7Drizzle the sauce over the partially set eggs, then gently fold the sauce into the eggs, allowing it to coat the curds and thicken slightly; continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 8Once the eggs are glossy and just set (they should remain slightly soft in the center), remove the skillet from heat.
- 9Transfer the eggs to a serving plate, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the top, and serve immediately while hot.
- 10Optional: garnish with extra sliced green onion or a drizzle of additional honey for extra sweetness.
