Japanese Steamed Omelette with Soy Sesame Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 Eggs (large)
• 0.25 cup Hot water (poured over eggs to create a silky texture)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Salt (to taste)
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds
• 1 clove Garlic (crushed)

Steps

1. 1

   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Pour hot water over the eggs and mix slowly until the texture turns light and silky.

2. 2

   Prepare a pan with boiling water. Place a few forks in the bottom of the pan to act as a makeshift steamer rack.

3. 3

   Place the bowl of egg mixture onto the forks in the pan. Cover and let it steam for three minutes.

4. 4

   While the eggs steam, prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, salt, honey, sesame seeds, and crushed garlic in a small bowl. Mix until the aroma is rich and nutty.

5. 5

   Remove the steamed eggs from the pan and cut them into cubes while still in the bowl.

6. 6

   Pour the prepared sauce over the warm omelette cubes, allowing the sauce to soak in instantly before serving.

Notes

The use of forks in the boiling water serves as a simple steaming rack to elevate the bowl. The hot water technique is key to achieving the signature 'silky' texture of Japanese-style steamed eggs.
