Han Goeun’s Egg Salad Recipe: TikTok Viral & YouTube Original

A simplified egg salad recipe popularized by South Korean actress Han Go-eun has gained traction online, offering a lighter alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based versions. The recipe, initially shared on her YouTube channel “Go Eun Unni Han Go-eun,” utilizes Greek yogurt and whole-grain mustard as key ingredients.

The appeal of Go-eun’s egg salad lies in its focus on health-conscious eating. Rather than relying on mayonnaise, the recipe incorporates Greek yogurt, providing a protein boost and reducing fat content. Whole-grain mustard adds flavor without the added calories often associated with traditional condiments. A Facebook video showcasing the recipe highlights its suitability for those following a diet (Facebook).

Detailed instructions for the recipe, as outlined on the recipe site Hemogry, call for combining two boiled eggs with one tablespoon of Greek yogurt, one tablespoon of whole-grain mustard, one tablespoon of allulose, salt, and pepper. The mixture is then typically served with avocado chips, with the option of adding parsley as a garnish (Hemogry).

Variations of the recipe have likewise emerged. A YouTube video demonstrates a version using cucumber rolls instead of avocado chips (YouTube). The video notes a substitution of whole-grain mustard for horseradish mustard, which was used in the original recipe. Another YouTube video details how to build the egg salad, referencing Go-eun’s channel as the source (YouTube).

The recipe’s popularity reflects a broader trend towards healthier eating and simple cooking methods. The ease of preparation and readily available ingredients contribute to its appeal, particularly among those seeking quick and nutritious meal options.
