**Thai Steamed Eggs: A Simple Yet Flavorful Dish**
Thai steamed eggs is a classic Thai dish that is both simple to make and packed with flavor. The dish is made with just a few ingredients, including eggs, fish sauce, garlic, and cilantro. The eggs are steamed until they are cooked through, resulting in a tender and fluffy texture. The fish sauce and garlic add a savory flavor to the dish, while the cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous note. Thai steamed eggs is a popular breakfast or lunch dish in Thailand, and it is also served as a side dish with other Thai dishes. This article provides recipes for three variations of Thai steamed eggs: a basic recipe, a recipe with vegetables, and a recipe with minced pork. All three recipes are easy to follow and can be made with ingredients that are easily found in most grocery stores.
STEAMED EGGS (KAI MEUNG)
I found this interesting idea in the book Thai Food by David Thompson. The author suggests steaming for 10 minutes for a slightly soft yolk, but as I desired a firmer yolk steamed for 12 minutes and let them cool at room temperature for a while. David is right that they are more tender than a boiled egg, not a huge difference but these are just that subtly bit better than a boiled egg. Well worth a try for anything where you would otherwise use a boiled egg.

Steps:
- Prepare a steamer over relatively high heat so you are getting plenty of steam.
- If eggs have been refrigerated leave them out a while until they reach room temperature.
- Steam eggs for 12 minutes.
- Allow to cool. I left at room temperature for 15 minutes or so and run under a little cold water just before cracking / peeling.
THAI STEAMED EGGS
Simple steamed eggs with fresh coriander and tomatoes. Steaming the eggs gives them a light, airy texture that is almost custard like. I used garden fresh tomatoes, which released their juices into the eggs, so canned would probably work better. This would also be good with ham or bacon and cheese instead of the tomatoes, although it wouldn't be a Thai recipe anymore :) The original recipe called for 2 cups of broth, but I reduced it to 1 cup since it didn't set fully with 2 cups. from ezythiacooking.com for ZWT9
