Steamed water eggs are such a simple thing to do, the steps are few, and don't need any high-intensity operations. As my mom says, 'Just one dozen eggs, and steam them.' In fact, the method is really like my mom said, just two steps, beating eggs and steaming eggs. My grandma used to do this, and she did it even more conveniently. She used a clay pot to cook rice, and she had to dig out white broth in the middle. After finishing digging out the white broth, she put the beaten eggs in the rice. Then, after the rice was cooked, the eggs were also cooked. What a handy trick, even the steaming step was skipped! It's like Chinese food wouldn't develop so brilliantly if it wasn't done this way, right?
