When I ordered it in Korea, it came in a much bigger bowl. I usually could not finish it after downing one bowl of rice. Quite a waste. Your portion looks just nice to go along with a bowl of rice.

In the korean restaurants here, I would eat them out of stone bowls. And they would really stick to the bowl. Are those baked? wow!!! your steamed eggs looks soooo good.

Cat, I bought the bowls near the Brisbane airport. :) You might be able to find similar ones in Seoul. Marian, I used a stainless steel steamer to steam. I don't think any seaweed will be suitable for kombu. You can probably get some at a Korean grocery or Japanese grocery store. Anh, That's good to hear. If you make another one, post the picture on your blog. I would like to see yours. :) Sally, I steamed them in a stainless steel steamer on the stove.

Its Korean name is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombu" rel="nofollow">Dashima</a>. However you can just add plain water. It still works fine. :) The containers I used for this dish aren't quite same as ramekins but I think that would be fine too. I am looking forward to seeing your photos. Good luck! Marian,

In the stores it looks somewhat like a thin, dark green to black wooden slat. Kombu is the thick, wider, kelp strands, not the pressed seaweed sheets or thin strands of seaweed.

It was good but a little salty. I'm going to try making it with dashimul (anchovy and kombu broth, less salty), instead of kombu and anchovy sauce, the next time. It was yummy and probably wouldn't have seemed so salty if I'd eaten it with rice but I was too hungry to wait! Mea culpa. I made this tonight. It was good but a little salty.

I warned you. :) With rice it is OK but without the rice you need to reduce to half the amount of anchovy sauce. It would be! I warned you. :)
