1
Pour around 2 inches of water into a steamer or a pot with a steamer rack set up and allow it to come to a boil.
2
In a bowl, crack open 2 large eggs and add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3
Whisk the eggs gently till they are smooth while avoiding to incorporate too much air in the mixture.
4
Add 3/4 cup of warm chicken broth to the eggs. Mix until the egg and broth mixture is consistent.
5
Strain the egg mixture into a heatproof bowl (about 24oz) using a fine-mesh sieve to ensure smoothness.
6
Remove any visible bubbles on the surface using a spoon.
7
Cover the bowl with a lid or aluminum foil, then pierce it gently with a fork to create small steam vents.
8
Carefully place the bowl in the steamer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and steam for about 10 minutes until the egg mixture is set, but still slightly wobbly.
9
Turn off the heat and let the steamed egg custard sit for another 5 minutes inside the steamer.
10
Remove the lid or foil carefully, drizzle the steamed egg custard with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon gluten-free light soy sauce, then sprinkle 2 finely chopped green onions on top.

Serve your Silk-Touch Chinese Steamed Egg Custard hot as a fulfilling breakfast or a nutritious snack.
