Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 550ml chicken stock

  • 1 tsp chicken powder
  • Soy sauce, to garnish
  • Chopped spring onion, to serve
  • Sesame oil, to serve

Method

1
Combine the eggs and chicken stock in a mixing bowl. If using store-bought stock, no need to add seasoning. If you use homemade chicken stock, season with the sugar, chicken powder and 1½ tablespoons of salt, adjusting to your liking.

Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, wrap in cling film and place the dish into a prepared steamer over boiling water. Steam for 9–12 minutes on high heat or until the egg custard is wobbly.

Carefully remove cling film and add a dash of soy sauce, spring onion and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve immediately.
