  2. warm water - 1/2 cup per egg (95 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, half a cup for every egg)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Warm Water: Microwave the water for under a minute until warm to the touch but not unbearably hot. The ideal temperature range is about 95 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix Eggs and Water: Use a two to one egg to water ratio. For every medium-sized egg, add half a cup of warm water.
  3. Sieve the Mixture: Optionally, use a sieve to filter the egg mixture when pouring it into the steaming bowl to remove lumps and bubbles. This makes the steamed eggs extra smooth.
  4. Steam: Steam the mixture until set to achieve a silky smooth texture.
