Steamed Eggs Recipe

Vegetarian - contains eggs (ya don't say...), Gluten-Free, Nut-Free

Ingredients:

3 eggs

Vegetable stock / water (double the eggs volume)

¼ teaspoon of salt (we’re using Himalayan pink rock salt)

Chopped spring onion

Fried shallots

Sesame oil

Light soy sauce

Steps:

1. Crack the eggs into a container with a spout (to make it easy to pour the eggs mix later on – we’re using a bowl here just so it’s easy to see).

2. Add either water, vegetable stock or a mix of both. How we measure to make guesstimate double the volume of the eggs: use half an egg shell! For 3 eggs, for example, we’d put in 6 half-shell of liquid.

3. Add in some salt, and whisk away!

4. Pour the mix into a shallow heat-proof dish through a strainer, to keep it smooth. Try to keep bubbles on the surface to a minimum to get that nicely even surface. 

5. Steam for 8 to 10 minutes.

6. The eggs will have a pudding-like texture once they’re ready; slightly wobbly but also quite firm. Does that make sense?

7. Top generously with spring onions and fried shallots, and drizzle with some sesame oil and a little bit of soy sauce.
