Steamed egg custard is suitable for people of all ages, and its nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. How can we make the steamed egg custard smooth and delicious?
Steamed Egg Custard
1. Crack 1 egg into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt and mix well. Add warm or cool boiled water or stock (the ideal egg-to-water ratio is 1:2. Simply put, the water should be twice the volume of the egg liquid);
2. Pour the beaten egg mixture through a sieve into another steaming bowl that has been lightly greased with cooking oil (this prevents the custard from sticking to the bowl after steaming);
3. Begin steaming. This step is crucial for achieving a surface as smooth as a mirror and a fine, tender, and smooth texture. Bring water in a steamer to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, place the bowl of egg mixture in the steamer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and leave the steamer lid slightly ajar (you can place two chopsticks under the lid, which also sterilizes them). After about 10 minutes, the custard should be ready. Sprinkle with some chopped green onions or cooked meat floss, and drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil before serving.
Cooking Tips
Do not use raw water or boiling water for steaming. Do not steam for too long. Once the pot is on the heat, do not use high heat. You can add dried shrimp, shrimp, or lean meat to the egg mixture to steam together. If you have a ceramic casserole at home, it is best to use it to steam the custard. Remember to cover the casserole lid.
The key to steamed egg custard is tenderness and smoothness. Many people inadvertently lose the deliciousness of the custard when making it. Making steamed egg custard requires skill; once mastered, you can create a smooth, tender, and refreshing texture.
