Kai Thoon is a ridiculously simple but totally satisfying Thai-style steamed egg. The version you see in the video is done with minimal ingredients, but use the same technique and add any tasty ingredients to make your own version! Typically you’ll see kai thoon with ground pork or shrimp, diced onions and tomatoes, carrot, mushrooms, the list goes on. I use chicken broth to dilute the egg, but water will do in a pinch. Basically kai thoon is just egg, a little bit of liquid, and added flavor.

My recipe is for one egg per serving, but if you’re looking to make a large amount–or simply just don’t feel like busting out that many ramekins 😉 of course you can steam a bigger batch of egg mixture in a larger bowl to share!
