Make Jjimjilbang Baked Eggs at Home – So Easy!
Baked eggs offer a distinct and delightful flavor compared to boiled eggs. You can easily and hygienically make these chewy, savory, and salty jjimjilbang-style baked eggs at home! This recipe is based on a 10-person capacity pressure cooker. Adjust the number of eggs according to the size of your pressure cooker.
Ingredients- 14 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
At least 1 hour before you plan to cook, take the eggs out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature. This helps to prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking and ensures they cook evenly.
Step 2
Gently wash the eggs under running water. Place the eggs in the pressure cooker in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap excessively. The number of eggs should be adjusted based on the size of your pressure cooker. I used a 10-person capacity cooker.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the pressure cooker and pour in enough water to cover about two-thirds of the eggs. Cooking with salt ensures the eggs are seasoned intrinsically, so you won’t need to dip them in extra salt later.
Step 4
Close the lid of the pressure cooker securely and place it over the highest heat setting. This initial high heat is crucial for achieving the characteristic jjimjilbang flavor.
Step 5
Once the pressure indicator starts to whistle or spin vigorously, reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Let them bake for 1 to 1.5 hours. The longer cooking time contributes to a deeper flavor and chewier texture.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and wait for the pressure to release completely before opening the lid. Your chewy, savory, and salty jjimjilbang-style baked eggs are now ready to enjoy!
