Gyeran-jjim (Korean : 계란찜),dalgyal-jjim (달걀찜) or steamed eggs is a type of jjim ,Korean steamed dish. [1] [2] It is a custardy,casserole-like banchan (side dish),often seasoned with saeu-jeot (salted shrimp) or myeongnan-jeot (salted pollock roe) and topped with scallions and toasted sesame seeds. [3] [4] [5] The ideal gyeran-jjim is light and fluffy.
There are several ways to cook gyeran-jjim. It can be steamed,double-boiled,or boiled in a stovetop-safe crock on a very low heat. For faster cooking,some people microwave the bowl.
Eggs are sieved,and whisked with water until the mixture are completely blended in a cream-like consistency. Sometimes,kelp and/or anchovy broth is used in place of water for a richer flavor. Optional ingredients include mushrooms,peas,onions,Korean zucchini,carrots,and other vegetables for their own twist on the dish. The dish is then seasoned with saeu-jeot (salted shrimp), myeongnan-jeot (salted pollock roe),or salt,and optionally ground black pepper. Before being served,it is topped with chopped scallions or crown daisy greens, gochutgaru (chili flakes) or sil-gochu (shredded dry red chili),and toasted sesame seeds.
