Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour the eggs into a measuring cup to measure their volume. Then, add warm water or broth in a 2:1 ratio relative to the volume of the eggs. Add the salt and gently mix.
  2. Pour the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl to remove bubbles.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, leaving a small vent for steam.
  4. Bring water to a simmer in a steamer pot.
  5. Transfer the bowl to the steamer and steam over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, until the eggs are set but still slightly jiggly.
  6. Carefully remove the bowl from the steamer. Drizzle sesame oil and soy sauce over the steamed eggs.
  7. Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired, and serve warm.
