Steamed Egg with Dried Scallops

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the dried scallops in warm water for at least 30 minutes, or until softened. Shred them into small pieces.

2. 2

   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and white pepper powder. Lightly beat the eggs.

3. 3

   Gradually add the remaining warm water to the beaten eggs, mixing well. Strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps and achieve a smoother custard.

4. 4

   Place the shredded dried scallops evenly at the bottom of a heatproof shallow dish.

5. 5

   Gently pour the strained egg mixture over the scallops in the dish.

6. 6

   Cover the dish with cling film or a plate. Place it in a steamer with boiling water over medium heat. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg custard is just set but still wobbly in the center.

7. 7

   Carefully remove the steamed egg from the steamer. Drizzle with light soy sauce and sesame oil. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
