Analyzing cooking steps...
Strain the egg mixture to ensure the custard is silky and free of lumps.
Pan-frying the chicken beforehand prevents the juices from clouding the egg custard.
Temperature control is crucial: steaming on too high a heat will cause the custard to develop bubbles (honeycombing).
Wrapping the steamer lid with a kitchen towel prevents condensation from dripping into the cups.
