Description

A quick and flavorful twist on classic scrambled eggs, infused with spicy and savory Korean gochujang paste, topped with fresh green onions and a hint of fragrant sesame oil. Perfect for a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (adjust to taste)

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil


Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, thoroughly whisk the 4 large eggs until the yolks and whites are completely blended, ensuring a smooth mixture for even cooking.
  2. Melt the butter: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
  3. Add gochujang: Stir in 1 tablespoon of gochujang paste to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until the paste becomes aromatic, infusing the butter with its spicy flavor.
  4. Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and gently stir continuously, allowing soft curds to form slowly without overcooking or browning the eggs.
  5. Finish with green onions and sesame oil: When the eggs are nearly cooked but still creamy, fold in the finely chopped green onions and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, stirring gently to combine and create a rich, creamy texture.

Notes

  • Adjust gochujang quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Stir gently to keep eggs soft and creamy rather than dry and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • Optional: garnish with toasted sesame seeds or additional chopped green onions for extra flavor and texture.
