Korean Gochujang Breakfast Shakshuka with Crispy Smoked Salmon

A bold fusion of Korean heat and Middle Eastern tradition, eggs poached in a vibrant gochujang tomato sauce with smoked salmon, scallions, and sesame oil, served with crispy sourdough for dipping. The spicy-savory sauce perfectly complements the delicate salmon and runny yolks.

  • 1/2 tsp fish sauce

  • 4 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced, torn into pieces
  • 3 whole scallions, sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil, for garnish

  • 4 slices sourdough bread, sliced thick
  • 1 tbsp butter, for toasting bread
