    First, prepare the ingredients. I crushed and mixed the pork and lotus root together, diced the carrot, soaked and diced the shiitake mushrooms, and prepared the scallion and ginger water, setting it aside for later use.

    Break in two eggs, use chopsticks to poke a few small holes nearby for ventilation, and steam for 15 minutes after the water in the steamer starts boiling.
