Fill the bottom third of a wok with water, fit a
bamboo steamer with lid over it, and place the wok over high heat.
Pour the egg mixture into a well-oiled small heat-proof bowl (about
2 cups in volume); ideally the mixture should come to about 1/4 inch
below the rim of the bowl. When the steamer is filled with steak,
place the bowl on the bamboo rack and cover the steamer with the
lid. Steam the eggs until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve
with rice and spicy lemongrass soy sauce for dipping on the side. |
