Steamed Jelly Eggs are a traditional Chinese dish and a popular snack or side dish. The eggs are beaten, mixed with water, and then steamed until almost set to produce a soft, jelly-like texture. Steaming is a great way to cook eggs as it preserves their nutrients and helps keep them lean and healthy. Steamed jelly eggs are often served with soy sauce and chopped green onions, making them a tasty and satisfying snack or appetizer. They're perfect for a light lunch, midday snack, or even breakfast.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, mix beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil.
2.	Add cold water to the egg mixture. Mix well.
3.	Pour the egg mixture into a heat-proof container. Cover tightly with aluminium foil.
4.	Place a metal stand in a large pot. Pour enough water into the pot to come up to the level of the stand, but not so much that the water touches the container.
5.	Place the container on top of the stand inside the pot. Cover the pot with a lid.
6.	Steam on high heat for 15-20 minutes or until the egg has set.
7.	Garnish with diced spring onion and soy sauce to taste.
