Gyeran Jang

Gyeran Jang is a delightful Korean snack made from savory scrambled eggs seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil, perfect for a quick and nutritious bite. This Paleo version replaces traditional soy sauce with coconut aminos, making it a healthier alternative while retaining the dish's authentic flavors.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them until well combined.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the eggs, and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of sesame oil to coat the pan.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to sit for a few seconds before gently stirring with a spatula.
5. As the eggs begin to set, add the finely chopped green onions and continue to cook until the eggs are fully scrambled but still soft and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
