Recipe Steps

1. Preparing the Custard

In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, heavy cream, white pepper, salt, and seaweed flakes. Blend until smooth.

2. Steaming the Custard

Transfer the blended mixture to a heatproof container or steamer bowl. Steam over boiling water for about 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

3. Cooling and Serving

Remove the container from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
