Link to the recipe:
This recipe is essentially just egg and water, with a garnish of soy sauce, sesame oil, and scallions on top. As such, you'd think it would be a very light and not-so-filling dish, but it was the opposite. The texture, which is impossibly creamy and smooth, ended up being a bit too rich for me, and I was unable to finish as much as I made. The garnish makes the dish, however, because the eggs would be fairly bland without it.
Most of my eggs came out pretty smooth and nicely, but a few ended up grainy. I suspect this was because I neglected to cover the eggs with plastic wrap like the recipe said to. That was pretty much a purely aesthetic issue though, since those batches still tasted identical. The recipe says the steaming should take about 5-10 minutes, but mine took roughly 20 minutes. Granted, it was my first time using a steamer basket and I very well could've done something wrong. I don't know why it took so long, but it turned out okay in the end.
Verdict: If you like low-cal dishes and eggs, then consider making this. If those aren't priorities of yours, I'm not sure it's worth your time.
