Chinese Steamed Eggs | 蒸蛋羹

shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken

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

Pour warm water into the beaten eggs. Add salt then stir well.

Through a sieve, pour the mixture into 2 small serving bowls. Sprinkle chive over if using.

Cover the bowls with cling film. Pierce to allow the steam to escape.

Steam for 10-12 minutes over a gentle heat (place the bowls in when the water starts to boil).

Season with light soy sauce and sesame oil (if you wish, cut through the curd several times to let the sauce penetrate). Serve warm.

If using extra garnish: Steam the egg as usual for 7 minutes, then place in prawns and vegetables. Steam for a further 3 minutes.
