Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Filtered Water
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 stalk (chopped, for garnish) Green Onion
- 1 teaspoon Avocado Oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk gently until the yolks and whites are fully combined, being careful not to create too many bubbles.
Add the filtered water, coconut aminos, and sea salt to the beaten eggs. Whisk lightly to combine, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or serving dish. This step ensures a silky smooth texture by removing any unincorporated egg bits or bubbles.
Cover the bowl tightly with a piece of foil or a heatproof lid to prevent water droplets from condensing onto the eggs during steaming.
Prepare a steamer by bringing about 2 inches of water to a gentle simmer in a pot. Place the bowl of egg mixture onto the steamer rack, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
Steam the eggs over medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the surface is set and the eggs jiggle slightly when lightly shaken. Avoid overcooking to maintain the creamy texture.
Carefully remove the bowl from the steamer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes to settle.
Drizzle a small amount of avocado oil over the top and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
