Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • 1g Edible Salt
  • 5ml Edible Oil
  • Light Soy Sauce (Optional)

Steps

  1. Crack one egg into a bowl and beat thoroughly.
  2. Add 1.0-1.5 times the volume of 60°C purified water to the egg mixture, and stir evenly.
  3. For best results within the range: use less water for a firmer texture; use more water for a softer, tender texture.
  4. Note: Beyond the recommended range, using too little water makes the texture too rubbery, while using too much water makes it too runny.
  5. Add 1g of edible salt. The salt acts to enhance the underlying flavor and assist with coagulation.
  6. Add 5ml of edible oil.
  7. Filter the egg mixture to remove surface foam (optional; skipping the step may result in unsightly air bubbles in the steamed egg).
  8. Ensure the steamer's water reservoir is filled with sufficient water (if unsure, fill the water tank completely).
  9. Place the completely mixed bowl of egg liquid into the steamer.
  10. Adjust temperature to **100°C** and steam for **10 minutes**.
  11. Open the steamer (Caution: There will be a burst of steam upon opening; open slowly to avoid exposure).
  12. Remove the steamed egg from the pot (Soy sauce can be added for seasoning).
  13. Enjoy!
