Usually dried scallops are used to steam with eggs in most Chinese kitchen but in this recipe, I used frozen (fresh) scallops instead. The scallops still stayed tender even after 12 minutes of steaming. Just note that it is best to steam the eggs in a shallow plate so that the eggs will not be hardened but custard like, after setting. Not much seasoning is required and I only mixed with chicken broth. I’m sure that you can easily prepare this comfort dish for your family to enjoy at home.
