LAO STEAMED EGGS

2 dozen eggs
salt, sugar, pepper
msg, fish sauce

Punch a small hole in the narrow end of the eggs with a sharp thin implement. Pour out egg into a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper, msg, fish sauce and a bit of sugar. Beat until smooth.

Spoon egg mixture back into shells, or dip egg into bowl. Top off until full. Place into rack of steamer. Bring pot of water to a gentle boil. Steam on low for 1-2 hours. Leave the lid of the steamer cracked to let off steam. The shells will crack if the temperature gets to high. Keep it at a gentle boil and open lid wider if needed.
