Notes
Plan for a few extra eggs: Depending on the size of your eggs and the size of your dish, if you want a nice yellow layer as shown in the photo, you may need a few extra eggs to have enough yolkPreheat the steamer: Don't start cooking from cold, otherwise the cooking times won't be the same (and raw pork isn't great)Rehydrating the mushrooms: This may take a little longer than expected, depending on their size
