-
Lightly beat the egg so that no bubbles form.
- Turn off the heat as you begin pouring in the egg (this produces silkier
threads).
-
Pour the egg in a very slow stream (pouring it through the tines of a fork from
several inches above the pot is a good way to keep the stream slow and steady).
-
Begin stirring as soon as you start pouring in the egg.
-
To make shreds or threads, stir rapidly for at least 1 minute.
- Stir the beaten egg in one direction only.
