Main Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2:1 ratio of lukewarm water to eggs in liquid measurement e.g. 1 cup of water for ½ cup eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
Garnish
- Chopped green onions
- Chili oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack and beat the eggs. Then add water and mix well. Strain the egg mixture through a fine strainer. Add egg mixture to a medium shallow bowl and remove any additional bubbles on top with a spoon. Add salt and mix slightly again.
- Prepare a steamer basket and bring water to a boil. Carefully add the egg bowl to the steamer then cover with a plate on top to prevent condensation from dripping into the eggs.
- Steam for 8-10 mins. Turn off the heat and let residual heat steam for another 5 mins.
- While eggs are steaming, combine soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- Remove steamed eggs from steamer then drizzle soy sauce mixture on top. Garnish with chopped scallions and chili oil.
