Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Volcano Steamed Egg
  1. Whisk the ingredients by cracking 4 large eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk until frothy and add 1 cup of water or stock, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
  2. Prepare the bowl by coating a 2-cup Korean earthenware bowl with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl, leaving a little space at the top to allow for rising.
  4. Cover with a heatproof bowl and steam on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
