Gyerin Jjim (Savory Steamed Egg Custard)

Authentic Korean Gyerin Jjim is a smooth, savory egg custard. The light, steamed side dish can be eaten at any time of the day. The comforting flavors of the egg custard are enhanced by toppings of your choice—crunchy green onion, smoked salmon, and earthy truffle shavings. When enjoying in the evening, don’t forget to pair the dish with a delicious glass of crisp chardonnay.

Everyday Korean cookbook author Seung Hee Lee recommends, “If you prefer to serve family style, pour the mixture in a Korean earthenware dish or a big bowl that can hold up to 3 cups of liquid. Any leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator and enjoyed the next day as a snack or as a banchan, especially with bibimbap.”
