To make this recipe for 2 people, you will need:

• 2 medium eggs
• 100 ml of cold water
• 100 ml of boiling water
• Sel
• Chilli oil, fresh chilli or chilli sauce
• Young onions
• Sesame seeds
• Coriander
• Riz
• Vegetables of your choice

1. In a bowl, beat two eggs with a fork.

2. Heat 100 ml of water in a kettle and mix it with the same quantity of cold water. Add salt and pour over eggs. Mix well.

3. Prepare a steam basket by adding a little water to a casserole dish, then add the preparation by filtering it with a fine strainer.

4. Cover the dish with cling film and make a few holes to let steam escape during cooking. Be sure to stretch the film well; it must not come into contact with the preparation.

5. Steam for about 11 minutes.

6. When the consistency is close to a flan and is no longer liquid, it’s ready!

7. You can then cut it into a square like a grid then add a little soy sauce, chopped young onion and a few sesame seeds, and coriander if you like.

Practical, this egg preparation can accompany a bowl of rice (plain or with chili) or even sautéed vegetables to vary the pleasures
