How to Make Delicious Sea Cucumber and Egg Custard

Sea cucumber and egg custard is a nutritious and savory dish, perfect for all ages. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 cooked sea cucumber (diced)

- 2 eggs

- 400ml warm water or broth

- Salt, a pinch of white pepper

- 1 tsp sesame oil

- Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Steps:

1. Prepare the eggs: Beat the eggs thoroughly in a bowl. Slowly add warm water or broth, mixing gently to avoid bubbles. Strain the mixture through a sieve for extra smoothness.

2. Season: Add salt and white pepper to the egg mixture, stirring lightly.

3. Steam: Pour the mixture into a heatproof dish. Cover with a lid or foil to prevent water droplets from dripping in. Steam over medium heat for 10 minutes.

4. Add sea cucumber: Carefully place the diced sea cucumber on top of the partially set custard. Steam for another 5-8 minutes until fully set.

5. Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with green onions before serving.

Tips: For richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. Ensure the water in the steamer is simmering, not boiling, to avoid a bubbly texture. This dish is best enjoyed warm, combining the silky custard with the tender, umami-rich sea cucumber. A healthy and comforting meal ready in under 20 minutes!
