Breakfast Korean Eggs Vegetarian

Ingredients

6 egg
0.5 onion
3 garlic
2 green onion
2 tbsp gochujang
1/4 cup water
8 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
5 tbsp honey
2 tbsp Korean red pepper flakes
1 tsp MSG
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1
Crack the six large eggs into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt if desired, and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully blended and slightly frothy.
2
Prepare the aromatics: dice the half yellow onion, mince the three garlic cloves, and slice the two green onion stalks into thin diagonal pieces.
3
Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat; add a drizzle of oil (or a small pat of butter) and allow it to melt.
4
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, then add the minced garlic and sliced green onion, continuing to sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
5
Reduce the heat to low‑medium and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, stirring gently with a silicone spatula to create soft curds while keeping the aromatics evenly distributed.
6
In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, water, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, Korean red pepper flakes, and MSG; stir until the mixture is smooth.
7
Drizzle the sauce over the partially set eggs, then gently fold the sauce into the eggs, allowing it to coat the curds and thicken slightly; continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
8
Once the eggs are glossy and just set (they should remain slightly soft in the center), remove the skillet from heat.
9
Transfer the eggs to a serving plate, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the top, and serve immediately while hot.
10
Optional: garnish with extra sliced green onion or a drizzle of additional honey for extra sweetness.
