Water, soy sauce, and the oh-so-versatile egg are all you need to create this homey dish – though there are some tips and tricks you should know before you begin.
Also known as steamed water eggs, this dish is warm, comforting and homey – soul food at its finest.
In texture, it is similar in character to the better-known chawanmushi, albeit not as soft, with a slightly more gelatinous form. There’s a reason it is often described as “silken eggs”: that very first scoop is all-telling, and that little jiggle? It’s absolutely essential as a mark of success. When adding water to the eggs, the water should be warm, as this helps to ensure a silky-smooth texture beneath the surface when cooked.
When cooking, the heat needs to be low and slow. If the heat is too high, it will likely lead to a cracked surface, or cook the eggs too aggressively and unevenly.Different brands have different flavour profiles; some are deeper in flavour and more acidic in character, while others are lighter and carry a more umami-based note, similar to Japanese soy sauces.
Add the warm water to the eggs and whisk for a further 20-30 seconds until lightly frothy. Pass the egg and water mixture through a sieve and into a heatproof dish or bowl. Discard any of the excess in the sieve.
