How to Make (구운계란) Roasted Egg Korean Spa Style

I was at a Korean Spa in Koreatown - WiSpa this weekend... And as usual I had (구운계란) Roasted Egg, which is like a MUST when you are at a Korean Spa (Jjim jil bang).  Traditionally, the eggs are Roasted in the oven for days.  They come out nice and toasty turning roasty brown, and chewy with a bit of flavor.  I thought, why can't I make this at home?  I crave it when watching Korean dramas or just want this egg, and it's so hard to go to the jjim jil bang just to go eat this....

So I looked it up on how to make this, and I put a little bit of my own twist.  I tried it twice and it came out fantastic!  No egg farting smell, easy to peel, and no need to use salt when eating!  So I'll tell you how to make this!

What you need:
1. Rice Cooker
2. Eggs
3. Salt (Sea Salt is better)
4. Sink and Water

I'll put the steps with pictures first and put simple step by step below.
1. Leave your eggs out in room temperature (out of the fridge) for 2-4 hours.  This is to prevent the eggs from cracking.
2. Wash your eggs thoroughly. Use toothbrush, or sponge.
3. Place eggs in your rice cooker.  Do not stack the eggs on top of each other.  It should only be one layer of the eggs.
4. Fill it with water so it covers half of your eggs.

5. Add Salt.  I'd say about a tablespoon.

6. Cook your eggs in "white rice cooking" setting.
7. After your eggs are cooked for the first time, turn your eggs over to the other side, and add water so water is quarter way to your eggs.  So half the amount of water from the first time. (two of my eggs cracked, cuz I didn't leave it outside long enough)

8. Cook your eggs again in "white rice cooking" setting.
9. You can leave your eggs in the rice cooker until you are ready to eat.
10. DONE! YOU JUST NEED TO ENJOY!!!! 

Instructions without pictures:
1. Leave your eggs out in room temperature (out of the fridge) for 2-4 hours.  This is to prevent the eggs from cracking.
2. Wash your eggs thoroughly. Use toothbrush, or sponge.
3. Place eggs in your rice cooker.  Do not stack the eggs on top of each other.  It should only be one layer of the eggs.
4. Fill it with water so it covers half of your eggs.
5. Add Salt.  I'd say about a table spoon.
6. Cook your eggs in "white rice cooking" setting.
7. After your eggs are cooked for the first time, turn your eggs over to the other side, and add water so water is quarter way to your eggs.  So half the amount of water from the first time.
8. Cook your eggs again in "white rice cooking" setting.
9. You can leave your eggs in the rice cooker until you are ready to eat.

Not only is this an easy way to cook your eggs, it doesn't have the funky smell, yolk is more moist, it's already lightly salted so no need to salt it again, it peels easily, and no sliminess! And you don't have to wait to go to the jjim jil bang to have this. :)
I also tried leaving the egg for longer than a day in the "keep warm" setting and that tasted yummy too!
And according to wikipedia, the black spots that form outside the egg while slow cooking is the cholesterol leaching out making this type of egg cholesterol free.  I'm not sure if this applies cooking in the rice cooker.

Let me know how yours turn out! ^_^

Lazy Cooking: How to make my Lazy but Yummy Omlette

I used to love cooking! But I've gotten lazy throughout the years. So when I cook these days, I like things easy and fast. But at the same time I refuse to eat anything that's not Yummy! I'm a picky eater... Meaning I can only eat Yummies. ^_^
I get really hungry in the mornings and have to eat a hearty breakfast, so I made this easy lazy omlette for breakfast the next morning.
This is what you need. As pictured below.
Eggs, already made Pico de Gallo ( fresh kind cuz it's yummier), meat of your choice, I chose pastrami, and Mushrooms.

1. Wash and cut your mushrooms.

2. Cut the pastrami or meat of your choice.  I just used food scissors to cut up my pastrami.

3. Warm up the pan with oil (medium heat) and crack egss directly into the pan.  Once again, for lazy cooking, you don't need to mix the eggs in another bowl.  Why? Cuz that's another dish you have to wash!  It's lazy cooking remember? hahaha  Remember to put your heat in low or medium.  You need time to crack all your eggs and mix in the pan before it starts cooking it all.

4. Then start swirlling your eggs like you are making scrambled eggs.

5. Start adding your meat and mushrooms before the eggs are cooked all the way.

6. When the mushrooms are almost cooked, add your pico de gallo and a little bit of salt and stir.

7.  The mushrooms and pico de gallo can make your omlette a little watery so you can leave the juice out when you transfer onto a plate/bowl.

That's it!  It takes about 5-10 minutes to prep and cook!  It doesn't get any easier than that!

I like to add some tapatio or hot sauce to my breakfast.... ^_^

Enjoy!
