Steamed egg, or “water egg,” is the ultimate home-cooked comfort food. It is a smooth, savory custard steamed in a heatproof dish and served straight to the table. I remember Mama Wong trying to teach her son (one of my dearest life-long friends) and me how to make it when we were in college, and it’s become a staple when there’s “nothing” in the fridge. This vegan version is just as silky and easy to make.
