This recipe combines the subtle sweetness of onions, the rich flavor of sesame butter, and a hint of heat from red pepper, creating a comforting and flavorful meal that is quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the 1/2 small onion and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until the yolk and white are completely combined.
- Add the 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp red pepper to the beaten egg. Whisk again to combine.
- Slowly pour in the 1/2 cup water while whisking continuously to ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the sautéed onions.
- Add the 1/4 tsp sesame butter into the mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
- Steam the egg mixture for about 10-12 minutes or until it puffs up and becomes set. The texture should be smooth and slightly custard-like.
- Check the steamed egg by gently shaking the saucepan; it should be firm and jiggle slightly in the center.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute.
- Carefully transfer the steamed eggs to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional black pepper or chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Tips:
- For a fluffier texture, beat the egg thoroughly to incorporate more air.
- To ensure smoothness, strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve before steaming.
- Use a gentle heat to avoid overcooking the eggs and creating a tough texture.
- Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Experiment with additional ingredients such as mushrooms or kimchi for a unique variation.
