Serve into 4 small metal bowls - half fill each bowl first

 

 

Make a small indent in the rice in the centre of the bowl and add 1 egg yolk in each bowl

Fill the bowl to 4/5 full covering the egg yolk and being careful not to break it

Mix the oyster sauce and chicken stock powder in the water then add 1/2 cup of water to each bowl with the rice

 

 

Then put the bowls into a steamer and steam for 50 minutes. When the rice is cooked it will turn translucent.
