Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine or water
- 1-2 cups (240-480 ml) chicken stock low sodium preferred. See note below
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp chili crisp optional
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion optional
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a glass measuring cup and add Shaoxing wine (or water). Add chicken stock to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof dish to remove any bubbles. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and poke a small hole using a chopstick to create a vent.
- Place the dish in a preheated steamer and cover with a lid. Steam the eggs for 5-6 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat and let the dish sit for 2-3 minutes before removing the lid.
- Before serving, gently score the top of the steamed egg with a knife to help it absorb the soy sauce. You can serve it simply with a drizzle of soy sauce, or add extra flavor by topping it with chili crisp and chopped green onion. Steamed egg is best enjoyed hot, so serve it warm!
Notes
- The egg-to-stock ratio can range from 1:1 to 1:2, depending on your preference. For a more substantial pudding-like texture, use an equal amount of chicken stock and eggs. If you prefer a thinner, almost soupy consistency, simply increase the amount of stock to your liking.
