Tips:

Steam the eggs for just ten or fifteen minutes. Check the egg very often. Do not steam for a long time, or the eggs would turn rough, not tender.

Add boiled water to the egg. Do not add cold water to the egg. Or the egg would not be tender.

Note the amount of water when preparing soup for the shrimps. Not too much water. When the soup thickens, it would turn delicious.
