Ingredients
3 eggs
1 salted duck egg
1 cube of chicken bouillon (optional)
A pinch of sugar
Sesame oil
Green onion
Steps to cook
1. Crack salted duck egg and put into bowl. Use a spoon to mash egg.
2. Crack 3 eggs and add into bowl. Add bouillon, sugar, then beat everything together with a fork or chop sticks.
3. Add 1.5 cups (exact measurement) of warm water to eggs. Continue to stir the egg while pouring water. The ratio is 1 egg to 0.5 cup of water. This ratio will ensure great consistency.
4. To remove the bubbles on top, lay a piece of paper towel on surface of egg mixture, lightly dab around the whole surface, especially around the rim where the bubbles reside. Carefully lift towel off. This will get rid of all the bubbles!
5. Drizzle a little sesame oil on egg mixture, then add chopped green onions.
6. The trick to perfectly smooth looking steamed egg: wrap bowl tightly with plastic wrap (microwavable kind). This will prevent residual water of the steam from dropping onto the egg making it look like a crater!
7. Boil water in wok with steam rack in center. Once water is boiling, put your bowl in wok, covered and steam for 14 minutes. Voila! You will end up with the best looking and tasting steamed eggs!
See! No air pockets inside either! |
