Eggs are a very nutritious food, and there are many ways to prepare them in daily life. However, for children, the best way to eat them is steamed egg custard. It is not only nutritious but also delicate and delicious. But many people say their steamed egg custard is not tender enough. What is the reason for this?
How to make delicious steamed egg custard?
Step 1: To make the steamed egg custard more tender, you need to add the right amount of water. But how much is the right amount? You can use the eggshell to measure the water, generally adding three times the volume of the egg liquid. Moreover, the water added must be warm water, which is a very important point for making the custard delicate and delicious.
Step 2: After adding water, gently stir the egg liquid in one direction with chopsticks. The force must not be too strong, and try to avoid creating too many bubbles in the egg liquid, until it is evenly mixed.
Step 3: Add salt according to your personal taste. If you have oyster sauce at home, you can also add some to the egg liquid, which will make the taste of the steamed custard better. However, be careful with the amount of oyster sauce and salt, do not add too much.
Step 4: Many people put the egg custard directly into the pot to steam, which is wrong. You must wait until the water in the steamer is boiling before adding the egg liquid, and the pot lid should not be sealed tightly (leave a gap about the width of a finger).
Step 5: After 7-8 minutes, when the egg has slightly set, you can take it out of the steamer.
Step 6: You can sprinkle some chopped green onions and light soy sauce on the custard to make its color and taste even better.
