Steamed Eggs

Steamed eggs for tonight dinner. I want to cook something more fancy
but too bad eggs is the only ingredient available in the fridge. So I decided
to make steamed eggs. This is my 2nd attempt to make it. The first attempt,
I failed terribly ask I over steamed the eggs. This time my eggs are just nice
smooth as silken tofu. My niece even praised it.

here's the recipe ( I got it from Kuali.com)

Ingredients

4 eggs ½ tsp salt 1 tsp chicken stock granules 2 tbsp finely chopped char siew pieces (if preferred) 500ml warm water Method Beat eggs and water till well blended. Add salt and chicken stock granules. Sieve then pour the mixture into a steaming tray or deep plate. Add chopped charsiew (if preferred). Steam over rapid boiling water for 25 minutes.

Notes :-
Since I'm using farm eggs which is relatively small compare to normal eggs.
So i reduced the water to 450ml.

I do not have char siew, I omitted it. I believe it will be nicer if add the charsiew.

I add 1 tsp of sake. Wanted to add mushroom but cant find any at home else will
taste like chawanmushi.

I sprinkle some sesame oil on top.
