Steamed Egg with Wolfberries Sauce

Recipe by

Steamed Egg is my favourite Chinese dish. It is so simple and easy and economical to make at home. The recipe is so versatile that you can add in any favourite toppings of your choice such as century eggs or salted egg. You can also mix in some minced meat and steam together with the egg mixture. A prefect dish to go with your congee!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
