Microwaved Chinese "steamed" Egg
  1. Whisk together eggs, salt and water/broth until combined. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any clumps.

  2. Pour the egg mixture into a heat-safe dish. Use a spoon to remove any air bubbles. Cover with plastic wrap and prick holes in it using a toothpick.

  3. For this next step, we are creating a water bath. I used a water boiler to boil water but if you don't have one and only have a microwave, place the egg filled bowl inside a large microwave-safe baking dish. Add tap water to the baking dish until the water surpasses where the egg is inside the bowl, but being careful not to overflow it. Remove the egg-filled bowl. (This was a reference point for the water.) Microwave the water until it's boiling hot. Remove it from the microwave and carefully place the egg bowl in the center of the baking dish. If you're using a water boiler, you can add the egg bowl inside the baking dish and pour the water into the baking dish, up until it's past where the eggs are.

  4. Microwave at 50% power level for 6 minutes. (Time may vary with microwaves.)

  5. Once you see that the eggs are mostly set in the center, carefully remove it from water bath. Top with sesame oil, soy sauce or coconut aminos, chili oil and scallions.
