Steamed eggs (Instant Pot)

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs, large
  • 12 oz chicken broth, warm
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • Chopped scallion

Directions

  1. Beat eggs thoroughly. Pass through a fine sieve.
  2. Mix the chicken broth using warm water. Should be warm to the touch but not hot enough to cook the eggs on contact.
  3. Combine eggs and water. (You can add the sesame oil now, or wait until serving). Pour into serving dish and cover with foil to keep condensation out.
  4. Place 1-2 C water in bottom of Instant Pot basin, then put in covered dish on its trivet. Secure lid and make sure vent is closed.
  5. Instant Pot settings: low pressure, 6 minutes. Natural release.

Notes

  • After sieving the eggs, you will find about 1 Tbs of leftover gooey egg white. You’re supposed to dispose of the leavings because cooking them will make the dish have a little texture (little bubbles or pockets of white), but it doesn’t taste any different (IMO). I would say, ditch them if you want a perfectly smooth, silky dish, and you’re concerned about presentation. Otherwise, just pour them in the mixture and cook as directed, because I hate wasting stuff unneccessarily.
