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.
