Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• Salt, to taste
• White pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), optional for garnish

How to Make Savory Egg Custard with Soy Sauce

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well blended. Add a pinch of salt and white pepper for seasoning.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
3. Gradually pour the broth mixture into the eggs, whisking gently to combine. Be careful not to create bubbles.
4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to achieve a smooth texture.
5. Prepare a steamer or set a heatproof dish on a rack in a pot of simmering water. Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a baking dish.
6. Cover each ramekin with aluminum foil or a lid to prevent condensation from dripping into the custard.
7. Steam the custard for about 15-20 minutes, or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
8. Once cooked, carefully remove the ramekins from the steamer and let them cool slightly.
9. Top with chopped green onions and additional soy sauce before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a silkier custard, make sure to strain the egg mixture before steaming.
• Keep the steaming water at a gentle simmer to avoid boiling the custard, which can create a grainy texture.
• Experiment with different toppings like sautéed mushrooms or diced tofu for added texture and flavor.

Easy Variations

• Substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
• Add finely diced vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the custard for added nutrition.
• For a spicy kick, drizzle with chili oil or add chopped chili peppers on top.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
• Grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein.
• A side of pickled vegetables to enhance the flavor profile.
