Description

Gochujang Scrambled Eggs are a flavorful Korean-inspired breakfast dish featuring creamy scrambled eggs infused with spicy and savory gochujang, enhanced by aromatic green onions and sesame oil.

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, whisk the 4 large eggs thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended to ensure even cooking.
  2. Heat and melt butter: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until it’s fully melted and slightly bubbling.
  3. Add gochujang: Stir in 1 tablespoon of gochujang into the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds, until the spice paste becomes aromatic, infusing the pan with its distinctive flavors.
  4. Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and gently stir continuously using a spatula to form soft, creamy curds without overcooking.
  5. Add green onions and sesame oil: When the eggs are nearly cooked but still slightly runny, fold in the finely chopped green onions and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Continue stirring gently until the eggs reach a creamy, soft texture.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to increase or decrease the spice level according to your preference.
  • Use a non-stick skillet and medium heat to prevent the eggs from sticking or overcooking.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or additional green onions on top for extra garnish.
