How to Make Thai Steamed Eggs

  1. Fill your steamer with enough water to come halfway up the sides of your heatproof bowls. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
  2. Lightly grease four 6-ounce heatproof ramekins or small bowls with cooking oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes (or 1/2 cup canned, drained), 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Whisk gently to combine.
  5. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  6. Carefully place the ramekins into the steamer basket, ensuring they are stable and won't tip over.
  7. Cover the steamer and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggle in the center.
  8. Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly.
  9. Garnish with 1 tablespoon minced red onion and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro).
  10. Serve immediately over steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
