Chinese Steamed Eggs 鸡蛋羹
2 serving
A simple, delicate Chinese egg dish typically served at breakfast. The lightness of the dish can be adjusted by varying the amount of water used. Only use water up to twice the volume of the eggs or it will not set properly. This version of the recipe is the most basic; add toppings or incorporate other ingredients into the mix as desired.

Made this without toppings other than sesame oil, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Didn't cover which caused a small amount of water to accumulate on top of each of the two portions, but it was easily spooned off when done. It was a bit too salty and would benefit from other toppings to give it complexity, but is otherwise good, and definitely creamy.
