How to Make Steamed Jelly Eggs

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce until light and frothy.
  2. Add your desired fillings (e.g., 1/4 cup diced cooked pork, 2 tablespoons chopped shiitake mushrooms, 1 tablespoon chopped scallions). Gently mix to combine.
  3. Grease a small oven-safe dish or ramekins. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared dish(es).
  4. Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and cooked through. Alternatively, steam above rice in a rice cooker for the same duration.
  5. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped scallions and an extra drizzle of soy sauce, to taste.
  6. Serve immediately with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal!
