how to steam eggs

A quick and easy shortcut method for making steamed eggs. The egg custard still comes out very soft and silky.

Microwave Steamed Egg

chicken broth

salt (as needed)

scallion (thinly sliced)

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add egg and broth. Whisk until egg is thoroughly beaten and mixed with the broth. If your broth is low sodium or unsalted, you can stir in a pinch of salt. Your liquid level should only fill about half of the bowl, so your egg has enough room to rise.

Cover the surface of the bowl with a paper towel. Set your microwave cooking power to 700 watts (or as close to 700 watts as possible). Cook the egg for approximately 2 minutes, or until done. I recommend starting with 1 minute 30 seconds and then checking on the egg and cooking more as needed in 15-second increments.

Let the egg cool a few minutes before eating. Garnish with scallions. I also like to add a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for additional flavor.

Hi Kirbie, Your recipes are wonderful! Thanks for sharing. This sounds great too, can't wait to try.

If I want to make 2 eggs in the same bowl do I need to double the amount of broth to 8 oz?

So Good. If you use broth make sure to taste first before adding salt!

Came out perfect! Thank you for posting this time saving version! I have been craving one of my childhood dishes forever!

This is my standard way of easily making steamed eggs in the morning when I have the cravings. I usually fully cover it with a solid plate rather than a towel though, and I typically nuke it for around 2:30 at full power. It doesn't look as smooth and custardy, but still tastes great! I've never had them explode, but the plate might just possibly contain the mess.
