Tips for making Chinese savoury steamed egg dishes

1. Strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve 1-3 times to get a smooth texture.
2. Use heat-safe (ceramic or oven) dish for steaming the egg custard. Plastic material will melt during steaming.
3. Use a wide, shallow dish for steaming so that the egg and meat will be evenly distributed and cooked.
