Instructions
-
Sauté the Chicken:
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add the ground chicken and cook until it is no longer pink. Season with salt, sugar, and pepper to taste.
- Once cooked, drain any excess liquid and transfer the chicken mixture into a heatproof bowl.
-
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined.
- Add the salt and sugar, mixing thoroughly.
- Pour in the pasteurized milk and stir until smooth.
- Incorporate the finely chopped green onions into the egg mixture, combining all ingredients evenly.
-
Combine and Steam:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked chicken in the heatproof bowl, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Place the bowl into a steamer (or a pot with a steaming rack) and cover.
- Steam for approximately 40 minutes. The chicken should be fully cooked, but the eggs will remain slightly runny at this point, so be sure to check the doneness by inserting a fork into the eggs. If the fork comes out wet, continue steaming until the eggs are set, resembling the texture of a cake.
-
Serve:
- Once the eggs have set to your liking, remove the bowl from the steamer and let it cool slightly.
- Slice and serve warm, accompanied by steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
