Notes

Ingredients:

• Norwegian Arctic cod: 100g
• Eggs: 2
• Cold water: 120g
• Light soy sauce: 10g

Instructions:

2. Cut the cod into roughly 2 cm chunks.
3. Mix the eggs with an equal weight of cold water and beat well. Add the thawing juices of the cod into the egg mixture to enhance the flavor.
4. Strain the egg mixture into a steaming dish to remove unbroken egg whites and bubbles for a finer custard texture.
5. Place the dish in a steamer with boiling water.
6. Steam for about 10 minutes until the surface of the egg mixture solidifies, then place the cod pieces on top and continue steaming for another 8 minutes.
7. Remove from the steamer, drizzle with light soy sauce, and sprinkle chopped green onions on top.
