Prepare fish

  • The ideal egg water ratio should be around 1 (egg) : 2 (liquid) in volume.
  • Pour 80% of the mixture into a wide surface bowl that’s not too deep.

Start steaming

  • Steam it for about 3-4 minutes under high heat till it starts to form into a custard.
  • Remove from the steamer, add fish or seafood of your choice evenly, then pour the rest of the 20% egg solution.
  • Return to the steamer and steam for another 4-5 minutes till cooked.
  • Pour some soy sauce and cooking oil on top to taste, then top it with little fried shallots and spring onion.
  • Serve hot immediately.
