Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk the 3 eggs, 1.5 cups water, and 0.5 tsp salt until just combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Thinly slice the 2 green onions, separating white and green parts. Stir the white parts into the egg mixture.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl or small pot. Place it in a steamer over boiling water, cover, and steam over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until the custard is just set but still jiggly in the center.
Step 4
Remove from heat, drizzle with the 1 tsp sesame oil, and sprinkle with the green parts of the green onions. Serve warm.
