Main Ingredients- 2 large eggs
- A small amount of zucchini
- A small amount of carrot
- A small amount of onion
- White fish (e.g., pollock flakes) as needed
Seasoning & Liquids- 1/2 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 4 soju cups (approx. 200ml x 4 = 800ml) water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 4 soju cups (approx. 200ml x 4 = 800ml) water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables (zucchini, carrot, onion) by washing them thoroughly. Remove any seeds or peels, then mince them very finely. Using a variety of vegetables will add beautiful color and boost the nutritional content.
Step 2
Rinse the white fish (such as pollock flakes) under running water, ensuring all bones are removed. Finely mince the fish. Adding fish will deepen the flavor and enhance the creamy texture of the steamed custard.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack in the 2 eggs. Add all the prepared minced vegetables and fish. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper for flavor.
Step 4
Using a spatula or a whisk, gently stir the ingredients in the bowl until well combined. Ensure everything is evenly mixed without any clumps.
Step 5
Pour in the measured 4 soju cups of water (approximately 800ml) and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. The water-to-egg ratio is crucial for achieving the perfect soft texture, so accurate measuring is recommended.
Step 6
Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish or bowl. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Important tip: Do not seal the plastic wrap tightly. Leave it slightly loose to prevent pressure buildup during microwaving, which could cause it to burst. You can also poke a few small holes in the plastic wrap with a fork.
Step 7
Microwave on high for about 4 minutes. Carefully remove the dish and gently stir the custard with a spoon, mixing the cooked top layer with the uncooked bottom. This stirring step helps ensure even cooking and a smoother texture. Re-cover with the plastic wrap and microwave for another 3 minutes, or until set. Your delicious steamed fish custard is now ready! Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
