Chinese Steamed Egg Custard

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Water or Stock
  • 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 stalk Scallions

Instructions:

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a whisk until well beaten. Add water or stock to the beaten eggs.
  2. Strain the mixture into a heatproof dish.
  3. Prepare the steamer ready and bring the water to a boil.
  4. Once the water comes to a boil, place the dish into the steamer. Cover and steam over high heat for about 10 minutes. The easiest way to tell if it’s done is to use a toothpick and insert it into the egg. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
  5. Finally, garnish with thinly sliced scallions. Add a few drops of soy sauce and sesame oil on top before serving.
