Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs in a liquid measuring cup and note the volume. Pour the eggs into a large bowl, add salt, and beat for at least 1 minute. Now measure out water at the same volume as the eggs, and add it to the bowl. Do the same with the broth. Whisk in the sesame oil and white pepper, and make sure everything's well combined.
  2. Pour the egg mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a heatproof dish (a pyrex pie plate works well). Add the okra to the egg so the pieces are floating on the surface of the egg in one layer.
  3. Boil the water in your steamer. Place the dish of eggs in the steamer, cover, and steam over high heat for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes have elapsed, shut off the heat, but keep the steamer covered. Let stand for 14 minutes with the lid firmly covered. Remove from the steamer, drizzle with soy sauce, and serve.
