Perfect steamed egg Perfect steamed egg
Steamed egg is easy to make but difficult to perfect. It will be gelatinous and smooth if done perfectly, whereas an overcooked one will look like the moon surface. My recipe is tested with exact amount of ingredients stated, using a frying pan with lid since I don't have a dedicated steamer.

I actually made this for breakfast, but I suppose it would be acceptable for any meal except a midnight snack.Recently, I’ve been making less trips to the grocery store and I’m not the type to have groceries delivered because I can’t select the items personally. Instead, I stared into the fridge for some inspiration and came up with this. I hardly ever measure my ingredients, but I’ll try to make this as close as I can. Also, feel free to swap out any vegetables. The real focus of the dish is the steamed eggs, in my opinion.
