Steps
Crack two eggs into a heat-proof steaming bowl and whisk them thoroughly.
Add warm water to the eggs (roughly 1.5 times the volume of the eggs) along with a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
Strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to remove bubbles and ensure a smooth texture.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and poke a few small holes in the top with a toothpick to allow steam to escape.
Place the bowl in a steamer over boiling water. Steam on medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes until the custard is set but still has a slight jiggle.
While the eggs are steaming, heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and stir-fry until browned and cooked through.
Add minced ginger and garlic to the pork, sautéing until fragrant.
Season the pork with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir well to coat the meat and remove from heat.
Once the eggs are done, carefully remove the plastic wrap. Spoon the cooked minced pork over the top of the egg custard.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
For the smoothest texture, ensure the water is warm (not hot) and always strain the egg mixture to remove air bubbles. Using a lid or plastic wrap prevents water droplets from the steamer from falling onto the surface of the eggs.
