instructions
    1

    Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk them gently until yolks and whites are well combined.

    2

    Add 1 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl, whisk until everything is mixed well.

    3

    Finely chop the green onions and add them to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

    4

    Strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof dish to remove any air bubbles. This will help create that smooth texture.

    5

    Place the dish into a steamer or pot with boiling water (make sure the water doesn't touch the egg mix) and cover tightly.

    6

    Steam for about 15-20 minutes over medium heat, until the eggs are set. You can check for doneness by gently shaking the dish; it should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.

    7

    Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the steamer, let it cool slightly, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce before serving.
