Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk the 3 eggs, 1.5 cups water, and 0.5 tsp salt until just combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the 2 green onions, separating white and green parts. Stir the white parts into the egg mixture.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl or small pot. Place it in a steamer over boiling water, cover, and steam over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until the custard is just set but still jiggly in the center.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat, drizzle with the 1 tsp sesame oil, and sprinkle with the green parts of the green onions. Serve warm.
