Chinese Steamed Egg

Ingredients

Eggs

4 large

Water

1 cup

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Green onions

2, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them gently until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
2. Add the water and salt to the egg mixture, stirring until well blended. This will help achieve a lighter texture.
3. Strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof dish to remove any chalazae and create a smoother texture.
4. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from dripping into the eggs while steaming.
5. Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Place the covered dish in the steamer basket.
6. Steam the egg mixture for about 15 minutes, or until the egg is set but still slightly wobbly in the center; avoid overcooking.
7. Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Drizzle the sesame oil and soy sauce over the top, allowing the flavors to soak in.
8. Garnish with the finely chopped green onions before serving warm.
