Gently stir the eggs in a circling motion with a spoon. Reduce the heat to low. Add the scallions, cover, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is set.

1. Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. The water should come halfway up the sides of the ramekin/bowl. (Adding a folded paper towel at the bottom will prevent the ramekin/bowl from rattling while the water is boiling.) 2. Carefully place the ramekin/bowl in the pot. Cover the pot and steam for 8 minutes over medium low heat. Make sure the water boils gently. 3. Gently stir the eggs with a spoon. Add the scallions, cover, and steam for an additional 4 minutes until the mixture is set.
