Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
- 180 ml warm chicken broth or warm water about body temperature (36°C)
Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or to your taste
- 1 tablespoon green onions
Instructions
- In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, weigh and whisk 2 large eggs with some salt, and white pepper.
- Add in about double the amount of liquid, so if you have 2 eggs totaling 100g in weight, add 180ml of warm chicken broth/water and lightly beat until incorporated.
- Pour the egg mixture into a fine mesh strainer or sieve into a shallow heat-proof dish.
- Use a spoon to remove any bubbles on the surface of the liquid.
- Carefully transfer the dish onto a steamer or steaming rack fitted inside a pot of hot boiling water.
- Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and steam for 15-18 minutes, or until the top of the surface has set and mixture is the slightest bit jiggly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and green onions/scallions.
