instructions
    1

    Begin by beating the 3 eggs in a mixing bowl until well combined.

    2

    In a separate bowl, combine the 150 grams of chopped chicken breast with 200 milliliters of water, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix this well.

    3

    Gradually pour the chicken mixture into the beaten eggs while stirring gently to combine.

    4

    Set a steamer on the stove over medium heat. Once the water is simmering, place the egg mixture in a heatproof dish that fits in the steamer.

    5

    Steam the mixture for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and cooked through. To check, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

    6

    Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

    7

    For a garnish, chop the green onion finely and sprinkle it over the top before serving.
