Adapted from Poh's Kitchen
- 160g raw prawn flesh, chopped
- 2 tsp shaoxing rice
- 1 tsp light soy
- ½ tsp sugar
- 4 free range eggs
- 1 ¼ cup plain chicken stock ( I used two tbsp of Maggi Concentrated stock and 1 cup warm water)
- pinch salt and white pepper
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp light soy
- 1 ½ tbs peanut oil with a hint of sesame oil ( you don't want too much sesame oil because sesame oil will over power the nutty flavours of peanut oil.
- Fill a wok half full of water, with a large bamboo steamer on top.
- Pound the prawns with the marinates(shao xing wine,pepper,sugar and soy) and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl mix the eggs with the chicken stock. Using a pair of chopsticks do slow figures eights, to do the mixing, rather than madly whisking, you will achieve a much silkier result.
- Divide the ingredients into the four bowls and steam with the bamboo lid on, for seven to ten minutes.
- The custards should be an opaque creamy colour when done and still very wobbly.
- Remove bowls from the steamer, sprinkle each one with chopped spring onions and a half teaspoon of soy.
- Heat the peanut oil in a small pot or pan, until beginning to smoke. Immediately pour one teaspoon over each egg custard and serve whilst hot.
