This steamed egg dish exemplifies the simplicity of Chinese home
cooking it takes about 5 minutes to prepare. The Chinese use a heat-
proof porcelain shallow bowl 7 inches wide by 3 inches deep with
sloping sides to steam this egg dish. A 1 quart ceramic souffle dish
or a Pyrex bowl works just as well. To ensure a smooth, silky
texture, avoid high heat when steaming.
Combine the clam juice, chicken broth, oil, wine, soy sauce, sugar and
pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cool
completely.
Lightly beat the eggs in bowl. Slowly stir the cooled broth mixture
into the eggs until thoroughly mixed. Avoid over-beating.
Scatter the clams and 2 tablespoons of the chives in the bottom of a
1quart heat-proof bowl. Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh
sieve over the clams.
Bring the water in a steamer to a boil over high heat. Place the
bowl on a rack above the boiling water. Cover, reduce heat to a
gentle boil, and steam for 2 minutes, or until the eggs begin to set.
Carefully remove cover from steamer, and scatter the shrimp on top of
the custard. Cover and steam for 5 minutes longer, The custard is
done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Carefully remove bowl from the steamer. Drizzle with oyster sauce and
garnish with remaining chives. Spoon over rice. Serve hot.
Serves 4 to 6.
