Smooth and silky steam egg

From young I always wondered how people made steam egg that was nice and smooth with rarely any bubbles. I used to ask the lady at the stall I used to buy steam egg from. She used to joke with me saying that only pretty women could make steam egg because they had smooth skin. It was hilarious. Now that I'm older, I've learnt the trick and I've made my own recipe for it too :)

The most important tool is... a sieve. But that's not the only important tool in this recipe... we also need egg shells. So make sure you try to break your eggs well and keep half a shell.

Ingredients:

4 Eggs
Dried Mushrooms (depending on how much they expand, I used around 3)
Chicken Broth
Hot water

• Step 1, place the mushrooms in a bowl, add in the hot water and cover. Allow the mushrooms to have time to expand and soften.
• Step 2, in the steamer, add in water and allow the water the boil.
• Step 3, while you wait for the mushrooms and the water, start to crack the eggs into a bowl. Don't forget to keep half of the egg shell.
• Step 4, using the shell as a scoop, take 6 scoops of chicken broth and pour them into the bowl.
• Step 5, using the water the mushrooms are soaked in, take 2 scoops and pour them into the bowl
• Step 6, mix the egg mixture till even and sieve the mixture into another bowl. 
• Step 7, cut the softened mushrooms and gently drop them into the egg mixture.
• Step 8, place the bowl in the steamer for around 10-15 minutes.

So one egg is to two scoops of liquid. If you are unsure if the steam egg is done, give it a little shake, if it shakes a lot, it's probably not ready. If you really want to make sure, give it a poke! heehee :p 
Be careful not to overcook the egg as well as it will become slightly tough and dry. 

Hugs for everyone~ Have an eggcellent day!
