1

Crack eggs into a mixing bowl and beat until well combined.

2

Add water, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper to the eggs and mix thoroughly.

3

Strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl to ensure smoothness.

4

Prepare a steamer by boiling water in a pot.

5

Pour the egg mixture into a heatproof dish that fits inside the steamer.

6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent water from dripping in.

7

Place the dish in the steamer and steam over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes.

8

Check for doneness by gently shaking the dish; the eggs should be set but still slightly wobbly.

9

Remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool slightly before serving.

10

Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and optional toppings like cooked shrimp or mushrooms.
