1 dash salt (half tsp)

1 teaspoon black vinegar (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

1

Whisk eggs, water, salt, and pepper in bowl or cup.
2

place bowl in steamer (simple way to do this is to bring water to a boil in a pot and place the bowl in the pot on a stand and close the lid, if you don't have a steamer available).
3

steam for 15 minutes.

add vinegar and sesame oil, and mix up with a spoon and eat. I know not everyone likes the vinegar. It has a special flavor. Leave it out if you wish. I do leave it out if I add goodies like mushrooms and stuff.
