Comfort Steamed Egg

Beat the eggs in a measuring cup and see how much of a cup your eggs come out to. Multiply that volume by 1.25Xs and measure that amount of water in a measuring cup. Pour the water in the eggs and beat very thoroughly with a pinch of salt. Pour the beaten egg mixture through a mesh strainer into a steam proof bowl (other than wood, most materials are steam proof — just check how high of a temperature the material can handle). Remove as many air bubbles as possible by tapping on the counter or just spooning them out. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil with a few tiny holes pricked on top to let out steam. Set a saucepan with water + steamer basket on high heat and wait for it boil. Once boiling, add in the bowls of egg and let it steam for 15-17 mins. You can tell it’s done when the top is set but the mixture is still jiggly to the touch. Remove from the steamer, then pour on the soy sauce, sesame oil, and garnish with herbs. Enjoy best with rice!
