Instructions
  1. Crack 3 eggs in a liquid measuring cup and note the volume. Pour the eggs into a large bowl, add salt, and beat for at least 1 minute. Now measure out water at the same volume as the eggs, and add it to the bowl. Do the same with the broth. Whisk in the sesame oil, and make sure everything’s well combined.
  2. Pour the egg mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a heatproof dish.
  3. Boil the water in your steamer. Place the dish of eggs in the steamer, cover, and steam over high heat for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes have elapsed, shut off the heat, but keep the steamer covered. Let stand for 14 minutes with the lid firmly covered. Remove from the steamer, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.
Recipe Notes

There are various ways to steam foods if you do not own a steamer. The basics of steaming food involves a covered container, a dish with boiling water at the bottom, and some type of rack for your heatproof dish of eggs to rest on. A simple technique is to fill a medium pot with 1/2 inch of water, place three baseball-sized balls of aluminum foil at the bottom of the pot, and rest your heatproof dish on top of the foil balls. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam.
