2. The ratio of egg liquid and water is 1:1. If you can't control the amount of water, you can directly use eggshells, which has a higher accuracy rate.

3. After the water in the pot boils, put in the sunfish and steam it over medium-low heat. This will ensure that the steamed egg does not become too cooked, has a smooth surface, and has a tender taste.

4. Do not beat the egg liquid too hard, otherwise bubbles will form in the egg liquid and the steamed eggs will have many holes. Beat it gently to make it evenly.
