Time

• 15-20 minutes

Ingredients

• 4-5 large eggs
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 cup salted chicken broth (or 1 cup water with 4 teaspoons fish sauce)
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Supplies

• Earthenware bowl or stainless pot
• Fork or whisk

**If you don't have an earthenware bowl, don't worry! You can easily cook this recipe in a microwavable bowl (with a lid) and complete the process in a microwave!**

Instructions

1. Combine eggs, green onion, and the chicken broth in a 3 cup earthenware pot or a small, heavy bottomed stainless steel saucepan.
2. Mix it well with a fork or whisk.
3. Cover with dome-shaped heat-safe ceramic or stainless-steel bowl that fits over the pot.
4. Set it over medium-low and cook for about 12 to 13 minutes (about 8 to 10 minutes if using stainless steel saucepan), until steam comes out and steamy liquid begins to drip down the sides. The eggs will smell nutty.
5. Carefully remove the lid. Drizzle the sesame oil over top and serve right away with rice.

Recipe Sites

• Binging With Babish The landing page is eye-catching and makes users want to start cooking right away alongside Babish. I also like the typeface used on the site. The scroll feature is a nice plus.
• Bon Appetit is well-known for their delicous recipes and have very popular recipe series on YouTube. I like their use of various grid/column types throughout the site. This website shows that the landing page doesn't have to be one large image. Additionally, they have a recipe for Korean Steamed Eggs!
• Joshua Weissman I like this website because of the filter system the site has when searching for recipes. You can filter through various occasions, cuisines, meals, types, and etc. Also, I like the colors used for the site and the Sans Serif typeface. The hover effect is also a nice plus because the arrows move and the box gets highlighted.

Non-Recipe Sites

• Earth Month With A Redwood I really like this site becuase of its interactive feature. Users are prompted to drag and immerse themsevles in a virutal experience to learn more about the history of the company's whiskey.
• Cyclemon I like this website because of the scroll feature. The background changes as the user scrolls and makes marketing the product a fun experience.
• Netflix I think it'd be interesting to allow users to customize profiles to keep track of their saved recipes, but also be a part of a community amongst their friends/families.
