Shrimp and egg custard is a beloved, nutritious dish loved for its silky texture and umami-rich flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to achieve it at home.
Ingredients: 2 large eggs, 200ml fresh milk or water, 150g peeled shrimp (chopped), a pinch of salt, white pepper, 1 tsp sesame oil, and chopped green onions for garnish.
Steps:
1. Prep the eggs: Beat eggs thoroughly in a bowl, then mix with milk/water and a pinch of salt. Strain through a sieve to remove bubbles for a smoother custard.
2. Cook the shrimp: Sauté chopped shrimp in a pan with a drop of oil until pink (1-2 mins). Set aside.
3. Steam the custard: Pour the egg mixture into heatproof bowls. Cover with cling film (poke a few holes). Steam over medium-low heat for 10-12 mins until set but still slightly jiggly.
4. Finish and serve: Top with cooked shrimp, drizzle with sesame oil, and garnish with green onions. For extra richness, add a drop of light soy sauce before serving.
Tips: Use low heat to prevent the custard from curdling. For a richer taste, replace water with chicken broth. Enjoy this comforting dish as a starter or main course!
