Introduction to Egg Rice Bowl (달걀덮밥)

In July 2023, a Korean egg rice recipe was featured in The New York Times. The article introduced a simple and quick meal many Koreans enjoy when they need a fast and satisfying dish.

Today, I want to share a recipe slightly different from The New York Times' version of egg rice yet equally simple and convenient. While this dish takes a somewhat different approach, it is incredibly easy to prepare at home in no time, making it a perfect go-to meal for everyone.

The recipe comes from Ryu Soo-young, a well-known Korean actor and food enthusiast. His "Egg Rice Bowl" (달걀덮밥) is a quick, delicious, and effortless dish that anyone can enjoy.

This is the third recipe in my posts, following “10,000-Won Dakbokkeumtang” and “Lifetime Tteokbokki”. Moving forward, I plan to continue featuring more of Ryu Soo-young’s recipes, so I hope you’ll follow along and show your support!

📌 Cooking Tips

- Be sure to use Korean tuna extract. Using a different type of fish sauce will alter the dish significantly.

- Do not thoroughly mix the egg whites and yolks. Lightly beat them and cook just until slightly set.

[Appendix] Translated Video Script

I have extracted and translated only Ryu Soo-young’s dialogue (voice lines) to keep the content simple.

The script covers the 2:54 ~ 4:43 video segment, focusing solely on the cooking process.

In the video, both "달걀" and "계란" are used, but they have the same meaning. "달걀" is a pure Korean word, while "계란" originates from Chinese characters and is used in Korean.
