Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them gently until the whites and yolks are fully combined without creating bubbles.
Add water, coconut aminos, and salt to the beaten eggs. Whisk gently again to incorporate the liquids evenly.
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.
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.
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.
Place the covered bowl or dish onto the steaming rack, ensuring it is stable and level. Cover the pot with a lid.
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.
Carefully remove the bowl or dish from the steamer and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the top and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy as a satisfying Whole30-compliant meal or side dish.
