Hello from Seoul! Some of you worried about our health because we’ve consumed a lot of instant food recently. Thus, let me use some healthy ingredient, egg. 🙂
#1 SOY SAUCE EGG RICE (Gyeran Bap)
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp neutral-tasting oil
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup (210g) hot cooked rice
- 1 tsp soy sauce, plus more if needed
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (or 1 tsp toasted sesame oil)
- 1 sliced green onion
Instructions:
1. In a pan, add the oil. Once it’s heated, crack an egg. Reduce the heat to low for the soft texture. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Make a sunny-side-up egg because the egg yolk will become a sauce for the rice. If you have a lid, cover with a lid to make it easy.
2. Put some rice in a serving bowl. Top with the fried egg. Add the soy sauce and butter. Garnish with sliced green onion. Mix everything together and enjoy!
#2 EGG BREAD (Gyeran Ppang)
Ingredients:
- 1 slice cooked bacon
- 2 dinner rolls
- 1 slice American cheese
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley flakes, to garnish
Instructions:
1. Take out the inside of dinner rolls with a fork.
2. Put some cheese, cooked bacon, and eggs in the dinner rolls. Pop the egg yolk with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on some parsley flakes. Pop it in a microwave
3. To prevent the bread from being dry, put some water in the microwave. Microwave it for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. (You could also pop it in the oven at 180℃ (355℉) for 15 minutes.)
#3 STEAMED EGGS
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 200ml water
- 1 tsp Korean beef stock powder (dasida) (or concentrated chicken stock, chicken bouillon powder)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, beat the egg. Add the water and Korean beef stock powder. Stir together. Optionally, strain the egg mixture with a strainer for a better texture. Cover with plastic wrap.
2. On the bottom of the wok, place chopsticks and add some water. (This will work like a steamer basket.) Place the bowl on the chopsticks and cover with a lid. Boil it for 15 minutes.

What if I *want* to make egg bread in the oven? ^_^ What time and temp would you recommend?
180℃, 15 mins would be alright, but just in case, keep an eye on it! 🙂
