Ingredients

7 Large Eggs
Water Equal amount to eggs, about 2/3 cup
1 tbsp Salted Shrimp Saeu-jeot OR ½ tsp Salt
2 tbsp Finely Chopped Green Onions or minced veggies

Equipment

Microwave-safe soup bowl

Method

Mix:In a large microwave-safe soup bowl, whisk the eggs and water (1:1 ratio) with a fork until smooth. Stir in your salt (or salted shrimp) and green onions.
Cover:Place a microwave-safe plate under the bowl to catch spills, and cover the top with another plate or lid.
Microwave:Microwave on HIGH for 7 minutes. 'Carefully' uncover and enjoy hot!

No Mess Trick: Don't skip placing a plate under the bowl! Eggs puff up as they cook, so the plate catches any drips and keeps your microwave completely clean.
