Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3-5 large eggs use 3 for silkier, use 5 for firmer steamed eggs
  • 1 C chicken broth or water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp salt optional
  • 1 tsp soy sauce optional
  • 1 green onions optional, chopped

Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot
  • Trivet
  • Stainless Steel Bowl

Method
 

  1. Beat the eggs in a 2 cup measuring cup (or just a regular bowl) until the egg yolks and whites are fully blended.
  2. Slowly pour in 1 cup of chicken broth into the measuring cup and continuing mixing until fully blended. If using water or unsalted chicken broth, add ¼ tsp salt and mix well.
  3. Pour 1 tsp sesame oil into the stainless steel bowl. Swirl the sesame oil around the bowl so that the bottom and about 1 inch of the sides of the bowl are coated in sesame oil. This is to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bowl too much and facilitate easier clean up.
  4. Pour the mixture from the measuring cup into the stainless steel bowl and cover the top tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Place a trivet in the Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup of water. Place the stainless steel bowl with the eggs on top of the trivet. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes or low pressure for 6 minutes and natural release (about 5 minutes).
  6. Serve & enjoy with additional sesame oil, soy sauce, and green onions!
