Steamed Egg

Steamed eggs are eaten as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Korea.I just recently tried a steamed eggs at the Bulgogi Hut in L.A. Absolutley delicious. So I had to learn how to make it.
You pretty much beat the eggs with the fish stock and salted shrimp and steam it in a ramekin. They eggs puff up quite a bit. The salted shrimp cooks away with no visable trace to be seen in the egg custard, but give it a nice brininess. On the very bottom of the steamed egg is some of the remaining stock that you eat with the egg.
If you can't find fish stock or salted shrimp, regular chicken stock and fish sauce are a suitable replacement. Other additions you can add to this dish are grated carrot, zucchini, onion, and a single larger sized shrimp.
