Silky steamed eggs
“It blows my mind how flavourful just eggs and chicken stock, steamed together, can be. Add chilli oil and home-made togarashi seasoning and you’ve got an epic meal.”- Clement Pedro

Method- 4 free-range eggs
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 T sesame oil
- salt, to taste
- 2 white salad onions, thinly sliced

- 2 T black sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 T poppy seeds
- 1 T salt

Method
Ingredients1. Combine the eggs and chicken stock in a heatproof bowl that fits inside a saucepan until no strands of egg white are present. Add the sesame oil and salt and combine, then scoop the foam from the surface using a spoon.
2. Fill a saucepan with water toadepthof4cmandplaceabowlordish (that the bowl of egg will fit onto) into the pan. Place the pan over a low heat and cover with a lid. Bring to a steam, then place the bowl of egg inside.
3. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. The edges should be set and the centre slightly wobbly. Remove the bowl from the pan and top with the spring onion and Szechuan oil. Sprinkle with the citrus seasoning.
