Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare two eggs and a small bowl of warm water. Make sure the water is warm, and the amount of water should be twice the volume of the beaten egg mixture. You can prepare a small bowl first, and then add water as needed based on the amount of egg mixture.

   Step 6

   Using a steamer is better; the microwave's heat is too high for it, and steam helps keep the steamed egg custard moist. Bring water to a boil over high heat until lots of steam is puffing out—that's about it. Then reduce the heat to medium and place the steamed egg custard in the steamer. Maintaining a boil doesn't require high heat, saving gas and preventing the pot from drying out.

   When the time is up, take it out and pour on some light soy sauce. The amount depends on your taste; just a little is enough. Be careful, as the bowl and pot will be very hot. Use heat-resistant gloves or a cloth to shield them.
