Tofu and Egg Pudding

Tofu and Egg Pudding

연두부 달걀찜

[  yeondubu dalgyal jjim ]

Haven’t had enough tofu in your life?

Here is another soft tofu recipe that you might like.

I mixed with eggs and pour some chicken stock and turn them into savory custard-like pudding dish that you can serve warm. This Tofu and Egg Pudding is a protein packed winter comfort food, and the good news? You can make this in your microwave.

 

Tofu and Egg Pudding

This pudding is great to eat own its own or serve over rice with a little bit of kimchi on the side, and you have a complete meal.

During the busy holiday season, I want my meal to be simple and quick to prepare, yet still made from scratch to obtain all the nutritional benefits. And this dish fits the bill.

If you like soft (silken) tofu and eggs, I have a feeling that this dish might become your routine.

 

 

tutorialPlace a strainer over a mixing bowl and put the soft tofu block.

 

tutorial-2With a back of your spoon, mash the tofu.

 

tutorial-3and behold the grand exit of your tofu!

 

tutorial-4Beat 4 eggs in another small bowl

 

tutorial-5and sieve through the strainer. There will be a little bit of egg white residue which won’t sieve through at the end. Just discard it.

 

tutorial-7Pour chicken stock to the tofu and eggs, and mix everything well.

 

tutorial-8Throw some chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds in.

I am a sesame seeds fanatic. Maybe that’s why I am so wacky.

 

tutorial-9This is an optional. If you have these Korean salted shrimps, chop them up and add in to the mixture. If you don’t have it, add a little bit of salt instead.

 

tutorial-10Pour in a serving bowl that is microwave safe.

I divide the mixture in half and pour the half in my serving bowl. You can pour the entire amount in a large bowl or distribute in individual ramekin dishes to serve individually. You need to adjust cooking time accordingly

 

tutorial-11

Place the bowl in a microwave and cover with a plate (microwave safe) on top. Cook for 6-8 minutes on high power.

(To cook the entire recipe, cooking time will be about 10+ minutes. If divided into individual dishes, reduce the cooking time to 3-5 minutes)

 

tutorial-12The pudding will be very hot when you take out. So, please, be cautious.  Let it sit for a few minutes to avoid burning your tongue before you dig in. The puffy top will sink down a little but not too much.

Lovely savory pudding is ready to serve. It goes well with any Korean meal as a side or just like I did; I ate it as a breakfast with my quinoa pumpkin rice.

The handy-dandy printable recipe is below. Enjoy!

  • 2 green onions finely chopped

    Really interesting recipe! I don’t use a lot of tofu, mainly because I don’t know that many truly terrific recipes for it. This looks wonderful – thanks so much.

    oh my, i love this recipe!
    sure, microwave egg pudding is my go-to banchan menu when i don’t have much, but adding soft tofu is such a great idea.
    will definitely try this soon.
    thanks 🙂

    Ooh! We have a version of this in chinese cooking too! It is often just plain steamed egg, but my mum also uses tofu, and sometimes even minced meat seasoned with some soy sauce! Yum! I loveeeee this!

    We ate this often at home. Someone else made this. Now when its my turn to make this over steaming water in a bamboo rack, mine always comes out with lots of wrinkles. Mine is never smooth on the surface, but I still enjoy it with soysauce.

    Hi! I’m really keen to try this recipe! Can this be steamed instead of microwaved? And if so, approximately how long?

    Thanks! It looks so good and simple 🙂

      Hi Barbara

      Of course you can steam this dish. Just make sure you cover the top so the water won’t get in. I would say about 5-6 minutes depends on how deep you container is. When it is nicely puffed and no wet egg is leaking when you insert a knife into, it should be done. Enjoy!
