Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour the egg mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl to achieve a velvety consistency.
  3. Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle boil with a steaming rack inside.
  4. Transfer the strained egg mixture into a heatproof bowl, filling it about ¾ full.
  5. Steam the egg mixture for 15-20 minutes over medium heat.
  6. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it's ready.
  7. Remove from the steamer, let cool for a minute, then garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes.
  8. Serve immediately, paired with steamed rice or vegetables.
