How I Make It
-
Prepare the eggs
Beat 3 eggs, then add 50 ml of water or milk. This helps create extra smooth and silky eggs. Set aside. -
Cook the mushrooms
Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the crab mushrooms until soft and fragrant. Take half of the water from the sauce mixture and pour it into the egg mixture. Keep the remaining water for the sauce. -
Make the mushroom sauce
In the same pan, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, black pepper, starch, and the remaining water. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms. -
Cook the eggs
Heat oil in a clean pan and pour in the egg mixture. Gently push the eggs toward the center as they set. Stop cooking while the eggs are still soft and slightly runny. -
Assemble
Spoon the silky eggs over hot steamed rice. Drizzle generously with the mushroom sauce. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and serve immediately.
The eggs are soft and creamy. The mushroom sauce is savory and rich. Every spoonful hits just right. It’s simple, fast, and deeply comforting — the kind of meal that makes you pause and go, “Wow… this is really good.”
