Person who got flustered ordering sundubu-jjigae for the first time

The whole panic is about timing: that raw egg needs to hit the bubbling sundubu-jjigae immediately.

I had sundubu-jjigae, and they told me to crack the egg in myself. But that's a raw egg. Um.

There's no time to go “um.” You need to crack it in right now

Nooo, you need to put it in instead of hesitating,

Aah, they just hand customers a raw egg to touch? Eggs are risky whether you wash them or not, and you need to wash your hands immediately after touching one 😭 I'm saying this because I saw people asking if washing the egg makes it safe: if you don't wash it, there's a salmonella risk on the shell, and if you do, the bacteria can penetrate the shell, so it's six of one, half a dozen of the other... It has to sit in boiling liquid for at least 1 minute.

Seriously, ages ago at some restaurant I can't remember, they left a huge bowl of eggs on the table so you could add as many as you wanted. I used to put in 2 at a time and eat them, it was so good.

The best sundubu-jjigae of my life was one where they coated the earthenware bowl with beaten egg before boiling it, and next was the Bukchang-dong sundubu-jjigae I had at some brand starting with J, which tasted like 17 different flavors. That place had a whole basket of eggs on each table.
