Steam a perfect Chinese – style steamed egg:

Beat the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and use chopsticks or a whisk to stir them thoroughly, making the egg – white and yolk fully mixed. Stir until small bubbles appear.
Add warm water and salt: Put the salt into the warm water and stir well until the salt is dissolved. Then slowly pour the warm salt water into the egg liquid while gently stirring with chopsticks to fully mix the two.
Filter the egg liquid: Prepare a sieve and pour the stirred egg liquid through the sieve into another bowl. This can filter out the foam and the un – beaten egg white lumps in the egg liquid, making the steamed egg more delicate.
Cover with plastic wrap: Tightly cover the bowl with the egg liquid with plastic wrap to prevent water droplets from falling into the egg liquid during the steaming process, which will affect the taste of the steamed egg. Then use a toothpick to make several small holes in the plastic wrap to facilitate the circulation of steam.
Steam the egg: After the water boils, put the bowl with the egg liquid into the steamer, cover the lid, and steam over medium – low heat for 10 – 15 minutes. The specific time can be adjusted according to the number of eggs and the power of the steamer until the egg liquid is set.
Season and serve: After steaming, take out the bowl, tear off the plastic wrap, pour an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and sesame oil, and then sprinkle a little chopped scallions.

The temperature of the warm water should be about 30 – 40℃. If the water temperature is too high, the egg liquid will solidify in advance, resulting in a rough texture of the steamed egg. If the water temperature is too low, it is not easy to dissolve the salt, which will also affect the texture of the steamed egg.
When steaming, be sure to use medium – low heat. High heat is likely to make the surface of the steamed egg bubble and the inside appear honeycombed, affecting the taste.

By following the above method, you can steam a perfect Chinese – style steamed egg with a delicate, smooth and excellent taste.
