This version is a basic Chinese steamed egg recipe, then followed along with some lovely ideas to turn it into something more interesting for example adding minced pork sauce, add seafood. You can also add tofu. ed with vegetables and mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg and Water Ratio <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The perfect egg and water ratio might be slightly different based on your preference and whether you need to add some extra ingredients on top. The perfect ratio can range from 1.5 times to 2 times (water VS egg in volume)<\/strong>. Too much egg makes a hard and non-melt curd while too much water will prevent the curd to form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
