Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 100ml water

- 1 tbsp flying fish roe (optional)
Seasoning- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, focus on preparing the oysters for the best flavor. If using pre-packaged oysters, gently rinse them by shaking them a few times in lightly salted water in a bowl. This helps remove any impurities or shell fragments. Avoid vigorous scrubbing. Once rinsed, drain them well in a sieve.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the egg mixture for a silky smooth texture. In a microwave-safe bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add 100ml of cold water and whisk until the eggs are completely beaten and well combined. Finely chop the green onion and add it to the egg mixture for a subtle onion flavor.
Step 3
Add the cleaned oysters to the egg mixture. If the oysters are particularly large, you can cut them into bite-sized pieces for easier eating. The fresh oyster flavor will beautifully infuse the steamed egg.
Step 4
Prepare the dish for microwaving. Cover the bowl with a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap. If using plastic wrap, poke one or two small holes with a chopstick to allow steam to escape. Important safety tip: Never use metal containers, aluminum foil, or dishes with metallic trim in the microwave. Opt for glass or ceramic dishes.
Step 5
Microwave the covered dish for 3 to 4 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage and the quantity of the egg mixture. It’s best to start with a shorter time and add more if needed. Cook until the egg custard is set and has a tender, jiggly consistency. Season with a pinch of black pepper just before serving.
