Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- water as needed at a 1:2 ratio
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- 1/2 cup carrot diced
- 1/3 cup onion diced
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a glass and mark the level of the liquid with a rubber band. This trick ensures you add just the right amount of water later - a 1:2 egg-to-water ratio.
- Pour the eggs into a mixing bowl, follow up with double the amount of water (using the marked glass as a guide), and whisk well.
- Stir in the light soy sauce and white pepper.
- To achieve a smooth texture, pass the egg mixture through a sieve into a new bowl.
- Gently skim off any air bubbles from the surface to ensure your steamed eggs are smooth.
- Choose your bowls and arrange the diced veggies inside before carefully ladling the egg mixture over them.
- Bring water to a boil in your steamer on medium heat. Place the bowls inside, reduce to low heat, and let them steam for 20 minutes.
- Check the texture at the end of the steaming time, it should resemble a soft jelly. If not, steam a little longer. Serve hot!

Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Egg water ratio: 1:2 - For every cup of eggs, add 2 cups of water.
- To serve: I like to serve the tasty eggs with white jasmine rice or sticky rice, but this recipe is also delicious on its own.
