3 eggs

2/3 cup water

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tbsp Soy sauce

1/2 tbsp Sesame oil

Method

1. Beat the eggs

• Crack the eggs into a bowl and gently whisk until the yolk and white are combined.

• Avoid making too many bubbles for a silky texture.

2. Mix with water

• Add water and salt.

• Mix gently until smooth.

3. Strain

• Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl.

• This step makes the steamed egg extra smooth.

4. Steam

• Bring water to a boil in a steamer or a pot with a lid.

• Place the bowl with the egg mixture on a steaming rack.

• Cover the bowl with cling wrap to prevent water droplets from falling in.

• Steam on low heat for 10 minutes until the egg is just set.

5. Serve

• Drizzle a little soy sauce and sesame oil, and enjoy warm!
