Diet steamed omelette with Chinese spices topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, category CO, or better yet, CB, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup lightly salted chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- Dark sesame oil, to drizzle
- Soy sauce to drizzle
- 1 small green onion, finely chopped
- Special equipment: 4 ramekins with a capacity of 180 ml. (approximately 8 cm in diameter); steamer
Preparation:
- Fill a large saucepan with 2.5 cm of water (with a tight-fitting lid) and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the chicken broth, 3/4 cup water, and salt and whisk until smooth. Strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a 2-4 cup liquid measuring cup.
- Pour the egg mixture into four 180ml ramekins. Use a spoon to skim off any bubbles from the surface (it's okay if a few remain). Cover each ramekin with foil.
- Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Place the steamer basket in the saucepan, add the ramekins, and cover with a lid.
- Cook for exactly 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave the eggs to steam for another 15 minutes.
- Using tongs, carefully remove the molds from the steamer. Remove the foil, drizzle the eggs with sesame oil and soy sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
