shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians, while chicken is a more economical protein.

Pick good quality eggs and ensure they are at room temperature.

Whisk 3 eggs thoroughly until the egg whites and yolks are well combined.

Add boiled warm water to the eggs at a 2:1 ratio, stirring continuously to combine.

Strain the egg mixture through a sieve to remove bubbles and residues for a smooth texture.

Cover the top of the mixture with plastic wrap to prevent water from dripping in during steaming.

Prepare a pot with a glass lid and steam the egg mixture over medium heat for 9 minutes.

Check the doneness by shaking the pot; if the mixture is still runny, it needs more time.

After 9 minutes, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to finish cooking.

Garnish the steamed eggs with spring onion and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce before serving.
