Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Method

  1. Beat the eggs with salt, then whisk in warm water in a 1.5-to-1 water-to-egg ratio until fully combined.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a shallow heatproof bowl to remove bubbles.
  3. Cover the bowl with foil and set in a steamer over gently simmering water.
  4. Steam over low heat for 12 minutes until just set with a silky, custard-like surface.
  5. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil and scatter scallion on top.
