Introduction
Korean BBQ style grilled eggs are a delicious and unique side dish that brings deep umami flavors with soy and sesame oil. When grilled on the Arteflame, eggs develop a slightly smoky taste, while the gentle heat of the flat cooktop ensures they cook evenly without burning. It's the perfect way to add a touch of Korean inspiration to your grilling experience.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill
- Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
- Place the soaked napkins inside the grill.
- Stack firewood over the napkins and light the paper.
- Allow the fire to establish and heat up for about 20 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the eggs
- Place the eggs near the outer edge of the Arteflame cooktop to ensure gentle heat while they cook.
- Allow the eggs to cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the shells begin to char slightly and the eggs feel firm, remove them from the grill.
Step 3: Peel and season
- Let the eggs cool slightly before peeling.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
- Roll the peeled eggs in the mixture until they are well coated.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the eggs before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh eggs for easier peeling after grilling.
- For extra smoky flavor, leave the eggs on the grill longer before peeling.
- Serve immediately for a warm, soft texture, or let them cool for a firmer bite.
