3. In the mean time, crack 3 eggs in a large bowl and whisk lightly.
4. Gradually add about 150ml of warm water into your egg mixture until fully mixed. Then add your white pepper, chicken bouillon and salt into your egg mix.
5. Add the remaining warm water into your egg mixture and stir.
6. Grab a sieve and hold it over your shallow dish and gently pour your egg mixture in. Let the water boil until it’s bubbling hot for a good minute before turning the stove down to medium heat and placing the lid on.
7. Let your egg steam for roughly 7min. (This depends on how deep your dish is)
