Here is very simple side dish or main depends on the degree of your hungriness. It is super quick, easy to make egg dish. This is, perhaps, one of the softest and silkiest way of enjoying the eggs, but faaaaaaaar easier than French souffle.
*****
All you need is; Two happy eggs, some wicked salted shrimps (or salt),
egg's mommy stock, and a lonely skinny green onion.
Beat eggs and add chicken stock.
Moment for the emotional bonding about to happen...
This is an optional step and I usually skip this.
Straining through the mesh removes the lumps of egg white, which creates silkier texture.
If these baby shrimps gross you out, use salt instead.
Chop up these wicked guys very fine and add to the beaten eggs.
Pour them in a steam proof bowl, throw some green onion if you like...
Put water in a pot that can reach to half way to the steaming bowl.
Place a small plate on the bottom.
It will help to stabilize the bowl when the water boils rapidly.

Cover the bowl with foil and cover the pot with lid again.
Boil for 6-8 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Done!
Eat carefully.
It is HOT!
Wait a minute!
Suddenly a century old question came to my mind.
Which one came first?
A chicken or an egg?
Steamed Egg Pudding
