Chin Sui Tan [chinese steamed egg]

I grew up eating Chinese steamed eggs with variations one after another.I still remember whenever we have meal at the Catterbest Restaurant in Ipoh, the chin sui tan 蒸水蛋(steamed egg) is a must for my mum to order.I really missed those moments there T_____T (really wanna go back to Malaysia). 

Cawan mushi crab,Hamazushi

Surprisingly, you can have the chin sui tan in Japan and it is called as the cawan mushi. I remember when i had a luch with Khairi last year, we had a cawan mushi crab at the Hamazushi and the cawan mushi flavour was slightly different but the texture is just as good as the chin sui tan.The dish is simple and what i like the most is the silky smooth texture of the steamed egg.It's healthy and delicious!

2 eggs

6 halved egg shells of boiled water (for your understanding, measure the water using the egg shell that had been broken into half. And for each egg add 3 portions of halved egg shells of boiled water )

soy sauce for taste

sesame oil for taste

minced meat(if you prefer)

chopped green onions

1. In a bowl, beat two eggs, then add cooled boiled water to egg and mix well.
2. You'll have bubbles on the top and to have a smooth surface,strain the mixture through a sieve into a steam-proof dish. Or, you may remove the bubbles with a spoon.  
3. Set up a rack with water in wok. You may need a higher rack that would suspend the dish above the water surface.
4. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Place the dish with beaten eggs on a rack, then top the dish with a flat plate.
5.  Cover the lid and turn to low heat and steam for 15 minutes (the egg mixture in my dish is about 1.5cm thick). Open and check if the eggs are coagulated by gently shaking the dish. Do becareful of the hot steamed or you'll get burned.
6. Top the steamed eggs with a dash of soy sauce,sesame oil and some chopped green onions.
7. Serve hot.
8. You can even enjoy it with the addition of shrimps, scallops, meat and etc.

BTW, i missed my popo hot chicken feet dish..! Can't wait for the next holiday to have some cooking lessons from popo :)
