Tips and notes
1 The golden ratio for steam egg is 1 part of egg, 2 part of liquid. If there is topping, it is better to use 1:1.5 so that the egg will be more solid
2- Please measure the volume of the egg with measuring cups.
3- This cooking method won't have any water drop on the egg. But if you are worry, you can cover the egg with heat proof flim.
4- Make the sure the lid is well covered before you turn off heat. And don't ever open it before the time is up.
5- It is better to use the dish that is not too thick so the heat can easily penetrate.
6- The bottom of the dish should not touch the water while cooking.
7 - Please use the chicken broth or cooled boiled water.
8- Shrimps will be firm if it has been chilled.
