Preparation:
Preparation time: 8 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Serving: 2
Ingredients:
Sauce
● 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
● 1 teaspoon light soy sauce (or soy sauce)
● 1/4 teaspoon sugar
Slurry
● 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
● 2 tablespoons water
Cooking
● 3 large eggs
● 1/8 teaspoon salt
● 1 cup warm water
● 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
● 4 oz (120 g) ground pork (or ground chicken)
● 1 green onion, sliced (reserve some for garnish)
Instructions:
- Combine the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), and sugar in a small bowl. Stir to mix well.
- Mix the cornstarch with water. Stir thoroughly until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Add the eggs and the salt into a large bowl that can fit into your steamer. Pour in warm water. Beat well. Use a fine colander to skim the foam from the top and discard it so the eggs will have a very smooth texture.
- Prepare the steamer by adding 2” (5 cm) water and bringing it to a boil. Place the bowl of eggs onto the steamer rack and place the steamer rack over the boiling water. (*Footnote 2) Steam covered for 10 to 12 minutes (*Footnote 3). Check on the eggs. If the eggs are not fully set yet, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
- While the eggs are cooking, heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet until hot. Add the green onion. Stir a few times to release the fragrance. Add the pork. Stir and cut the pork into smaller pieces until the surface is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the mixed sauce. Stir a few times to mix well.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry again to fully dissolve, then pour it onto the pork. Stir a few times until it thickens.
- Once the eggs are cooked, top the pork onto the eggs and garnish with reserved green onions. Serve hot.
