Chinese Steamed Egg (Zheng Dan)

Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

3 Large Eggs
1 cup Chicken Broth
½ tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Ground White Pepper
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 Green Onion, Thinly Sliced

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Gradually add the chicken broth while continuing to whisk the eggs.

Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof dish or ramekins.

Stir in the salt and ground white pepper.

Prepare a steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.

Carefully place the dish or ramekins with the egg mixture into the steamer, making sure they are sitting on a heatproof trivet or steamer rack.

Cover the steamer and steam the egg mixture for 10-15 minutes, or until the custard is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the steamed egg from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Drizzle the sesame oil over the steamed egg and garnish with sliced green onions.
