Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk well with salted shrimp.

  2. 2

    Add anchovy stock and strain once for a smoother texture.

  3. 3

    Pour into a stone pot or heatproof bowl and top with chopped green onion and carrot.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on very low heat for 8-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn off heat when edges are set and center is slightly jiggly, then rest briefly.

  6. 6

    Finish with sesame oil and sesame seeds, then serve hot.

Tips

A higher stock ratio makes the steamed egg softer and moister.
Heat above low-medium can create large bubbles and a tougher texture.
