Silky Steamed Eggs with Shrimp Recipe

shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken

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

Crack 5 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk with salt.

Add 1.5 cups of lukewarm chicken stock to the eggs; the temperature should be between 98 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whisk the mixture and pour it through a strainer into a serving bowl to remove air bubbles.

In a pot, bring water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat.

Transfer the serving bowl with the egg mixture into the pot and cover it with a plate to prevent water droplets from falling onto the eggs.

Steam the eggs for about 15 minutes until completely cooked through.

Add the deveined shrimp on top of the steamed eggs and cover again.

Steam for an additional 2 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the dish rest in the pot for 2 minutes, still covered.

In a small pan over high heat, add avocado oil and heat until smoking hot.

Carefully pour the hot oil over the steamed eggs for added flavor and aroma.

Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
