    1

    Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into small cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water.

    2

    Next, place the potato cubes in a steamer and steam for about 10 minutes until they become tender.

    3

    While the potatoes are steaming, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk together with the water, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.

    4

    Once the potatoes are tender, remove them from the steamer and mash them until smooth. Stir the mashed potatoes into the egg mixture until well combined.

    5

    Prepare a heatproof dish suitable for steaming. Pour the potato and egg mixture into the dish.

    6

    Fill your steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Place the heatproof dish inside the steamer and cover.

    7

    Steam the custard for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg is set and firm to the touch.

    8

    Once done, carefully remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool slightly before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add in some finely chopped green onions or chives for an extra flavor kick.

Important Tips

  • Experiment with adding different spices like paprika or garlic powder for variation.
