*EGG to BROTH RATIO: The ideal egg to broth ratio should be 1:2. For every egg used, you should add twice the amount of water or broth to the egg mixture. For example, if you have 150g of eggs, then you should add 300g of water/broth. Because eggs come in different weights and size, I recommend using a scale for precise measurements.
Ingredients
Steamed Eggs:
3 large eggs (about 156g)
1¼ – 1½ cup chicken broth or water (312g) – egg to broth ratio should be 1:2
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
chili oil (optional)
1 green onion chopped
Minced Pork:
½ lb ground pork (or any meat of choice)
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp water
Instructions:
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined.
2. Add water or broth to the eggs. Then add salt and gently whisk until smooth. The ideal egg to broth ratio should be 1:2. For every egg, use twice the amount of water or broth. It is best to use a scale for precise measurements.
3. Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve prior to steaming. This will prevent any lumps or bubbles.
4. Set up a steamer and bring water in the steamer to a simmer over medium heat. Place the bowl of egg mixture into the steamer and cover it with a plate or plastic wrap. Covering it will prevent condensation from dripping into the eggs, which can cause uneven texture.
5. Steam the eggs for about 10-12 minutes. The eggs are done when they are just set and jiggle in the center.
6. While the eggs are steaming, add minced pork to a cooking pan. Cook over medium-high heat until browned. Then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water). Mix and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
7. To serve, drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil on top of the egg. Add chili oil if you like spicy. Top with minced pork and green onions. You can enjoy Chinese steamed egg by itself or serve it over a bowl of rice.
