Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl. Gently whisk them until the yolks and whites are well combined, but avoid creating too much foam.
Step 2
Using a measuring cup, accurately measure 378g of water and pour it into the egg mixture. Precise water measurement is crucial for achieving the desired silky texture.
Step 3
Add 1/2 tsp of cooking wine and a pinch of salt. Whisk gently until all ingredients are incorporated. Season with salt to your preference, starting with a little less as you can always add more.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into a microwave-safe container (like a mug or a heatproof bowl). Cover with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid. If using plastic wrap, poke 2-3 small holes for steam to escape.
Step 5
Microwave on high power (approx. 700W) for about 5-7 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. The eggs are done when a skewer inserted comes out clean. If undercooked, microwave in 30-second to 1-minute increments until set.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove from the microwave and sprinkle with chopped green onions as a garnish. Transfer the steamed eggs to a container to cool before packing into a lunchbox, or serve warm immediately. Enjoy your incredibly soft and delicious steamed eggs!
