Chinese steamed eggs or water egg (鸡蛋羹) is a traditional Chinese dish found all over China. Eggs are beaten to a consistency similar to that used for an omelette and then steamed. It is sometimes referred to as egg custard on menus. It is associated with children, the elderly and the infirm due to the little chewing it requires.
