Crack the 3 eggs into a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to accommodate all ingredients. A bowl with a capacity of at least 750 ml is recommended.

Add 120 ml of water to the bowl with the eggs. This amount should visually cover the eggs and help create a smooth steamed texture.

Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the egg and water mixture.

Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs, water, sesame oil, and soy sauce are well combined and the mixture is uniform. Ensure no large streaks of egg white remain.

Gently add the chopped shrimp and cubed soft tofu to the egg mixture. Stir lightly to distribute them evenly without breaking up the tofu too much.

Cover the microwave-safe bowl with a microwave-safe plate. This helps to steam the eggs evenly and prevents splattering.

Microwave the covered bowl on high for 3 minutes. Microwave wattages vary, so cooking times may need adjustment.

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Check the doneness of the steamed egg. If the center is still liquid or too wobbly, cover it again and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat in 30-second intervals until set.

Once cooked, carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel.

Top the hot steamed egg with 2 tablespoons of chili crisp and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.

Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein, low-carb microwave steamed egg.
