Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them gently until the whites and yolks are fully combined without creating bubbles.
Step 2
Add water, coconut aminos, and salt to the beaten eggs. Whisk gently again to incorporate the liquids evenly.
Step 3
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or shallow dish. This step ensures an ultra-smooth texture for the steamed egg.
Step 4
Cover the bowl or dish with food-safe plastic wrap or a heatproof lid to prevent excess moisture from dripping onto the egg mixture while steaming.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer setup: Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle boil. Place a steaming rack inside the pot and reduce the heat to a low simmer.
Step 6
Place the covered bowl or dish onto the steaming rack, ensuring it is stable and level. Cover the pot with a lid.
Step 7
Steam the egg mixture for 10–12 minutes, or until the surface is set but still jiggles slightly when shaken gently. Avoid overcooking to ensure a creamy texture.
Step 8
Carefully remove the bowl or dish from the steamer and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly.
Step 9
Drizzle the sesame oil over the top and garnish with chopped green onions.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy as a satisfying Whole30-compliant meal or side dish.
