As requested by Argyllie :)
You need a bowl or basin which is heat proof and which fits tightly over one of your pans and a pan lid big enough to cover the bowl.
You can put anything you fancy into this, but bear in mind you are only gently cooking so anything you don't want to eat nearly raw needs precooking. Also ideal vehicle for that little bit of leftover veg, meat or a few prawns and stretches them into a meal.
Boil some water in the pan and set the bowl over it
Mix eggs with stock (chicken or veg is best). You need about 2/3rds egg and 1/3rd stock. Just needs a gentle mix so don't over-beat.
Add a splash of sesame oil and a bit of soy sauce, plus anything else you fancy - coriander, finely chopped spring onion, leftovers ..... If you add anything that is going to let out water, go a bit sparingly on the stock.
Pour mixture into the bowl and put the lid on - steam for 10-15 minutes until you have a soft set egg mixture but fully cooked with no runny bits.
Serve with rice and I usually drizzle chilli oil over, but you could eat with greens or anything else you fancy :)
