Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add the anchovy broth (or water) and salt. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture is frothy. Aim for a smooth, homogenous liquid with no streaks of white or yolk visible. This should take about 3 minutes.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 2
Strain the mixture (optional but recommended): For an extra silky smooth texture, pour the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl or directly into your cooking vessel. This removes any chalazae (egg white strands) and ensures a more delicate custard.
⏱️ 1 minute - 3
Transfer to cooking vessel: Pour the strained egg mixture into a ttukbaegi (Korean earthenware pot) or a small, oven-safe saucepan. If using a ttukbaegi, ensure it's placed on a heat-resistant mat or trivet.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Cook the gyeran jjim: Place the ttukbaegi over medium-low heat on the stovetop. Cover with a lid (a glass lid is ideal so you can monitor progress). Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture has puffed up significantly, is mostly set, and the surface appears cooked through but still moist. You should see gentle bubbles forming around the edges. Avoid high heat, which can cause it to curdle or burn.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 5
Garnish and serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the ttukbaegi from the heat. Sprinkle the thinly sliced scallions over the top. Drizzle with sesame oil. Add a pinch of gochugaru and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
