Spinach Egg Custard: A Simple & Nutritious Recipe

Spinach egg custard is a beloved, nutrient-packed dish perfect for any meal. Here’s an easy, step-by-step guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh spinach, washed and chopped

- 3 large eggs

- 150ml milk (or water for a lighter texture)

- A pinch of salt and pepper

- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for aroma)

- Optional: Chopped mushrooms, carrots, or ham for extra flavor.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the spinach: Blanch chopped spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.

2. Mix the base: In a bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Add milk, salt, pepper, and sesame oil (if using), then stir until well combined.

3. Combine ingredients: Fold the blanched spinach (and optional add-ins) into the egg mixture. Ensure even distribution.

4. Steam the custard: Pour the mixture into a heatproof dish. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil (to prevent water droplets from dripping in). Steam in a preheated steamer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

5. Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm as a side dish or with rice.

Tips: For a fluffier texture, strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve before steaming. Customize with your favorite veggies or protein for a hearty twist! This simple custard is not only delicious but also rich in protein, iron, and vitamins.
