How to steam an egg?

A search on the tags in our bloggie has turned out evidence that of the 4 times that we tried to steam eggies, it is either too hard & too hard again, too soft, or half hard half soft.

As puddy is usually in charge of this dishy becauze it is considered as a very simple dishy (as compared to fried fishies), I can say that I feel like mei you lian jian ren that my lamb has gotten the fish correct yet for 4 times I failed to cook a steamed eggy. =(

Our next meal will have steamed eggy done by puddy...and it shall be perfect!

A search on google showed that for the steam eggies to turn out nice, with or without porkie inside is to...

1) add water/stock the same volume as the eggy, or for large eggs can try 100ml to one egg. (I have seen recipes with even more, so more water wont kill it!)
2) put it on the steam above simmering (not boiling) water, so that it will turn out without pockmarks
3) stick a knife thru the center ..and KILL IT! heee, no la, to see if it is still runny when deciding cooked already a not.

Other tips...usually 2-3 eggs to one teaspoon of soya sauce/salt + some pepper. if got porky can add it into the porky. Can add sesame oil to porky too. Usually is garnished with spring onions.

Stay tuned to see if I suceed a not. Well, if i don post soon...you know puddy is hiding under the beddie.
