Steam Eggs

My family loves this steamed egg. Simple, cheap and delicious!



Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs 
  • bit salt
  • 180 ml water
  • spring onion
  • light soy sauce
  
Method:
   
Beat 2 large eggs , (at room temperature) in a shallow bowl/dish and season with a pinch of salt . Pour 180 ml  water to the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly . Use a wire/plastic strainer to strain the mixture (for a smooth , velvety texture) . Pour the mixture in a lightly oiled plate . Cover with plastic wrap/foil or plate . Steam for 10 to 15 minutes . Be sure to put a chopstick or a stick at the edge between the pan and the cover ( to let some of the steam escape thus preventing the top of the egg mixture to puff  up while the middle is still uncooked ) . Sprinkle some diced spring onion at the top and a drizzle of light soy sauce . Serve hot . 
You can also add some sliced century egg and salted eggs to the mixture before steaming .
