Be careful of steam burns when moving the boiling steamer or opening the lid, and use heat-resistant gloves.

Boil water in advance. Pour the first layer of green batter, cover and steam over medium-high heat for 4 minutes until set. Then pour the same amount of batter alternating green and white, steaming each layer for 4 minutes. For the final eighth white layer, steam for 8 minutes (4 minutes plus an extra 4 minutes) until completely cooked.
