Sesame oil, soy sauce,[1] or chicken broth[2] may be used to add additional flavor.

Other solid ingredients (such as mushrooms, clams, or crab meat) may also be added to the mixture.

The egg mixture is poured into a dish, which is then placed in a steamer and steamed until fully cooked.

Homemade versions might include scallion, century egg, or dried shrimp.
