Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. You can use milk with your preferred fat content.
Step 2
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Step 3
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until completely combined and lightly foamy.
Step 4
Add the milk to the egg whites and whisk briefly once more.
Step 5
If using an electric steamer, pour the omelet mixture into its suitable cooking container. For another type of steamer, use an appropriately sized heatproof dish.
Step 6
Pour water into the steamer pot and place the dish with the omelet mixture on the steaming rack. If using an electric steamer, select the appropriate setting and adjust the cooking time according to the appliance.
Step 7
Cover and steam over gently boiling water for 15–20 minutes, until the omelet is set. Open the lid carefully after cooking so condensation does not drip onto the omelet.
Step 8
Allow the steamed egg white omelet to cool slightly, then serve with fresh herbs or vegetables.
