Steamed Egg 蒸水蛋

Steamed egg has always intimidated me. Egg + water ratio, timing and strength of heat ... Too much variable. Today decided to challenge it head-on ... My first ever 蒸水蛋

My mother's recipe was 1 egg needs to use 2 egg-shell of water. I found it difficult to measure with egg-shell ... LOL. Found a recipe that uses cup to measure so I decided to make it ... and I consider it not bad for a first attempt. Need to cook it longer so that the texture can be slightly harder.



Ingredients

2 eggs + 1 cup of water (original recipe said need to used cooled down boiled water but I only used normal filtered. Still can produced smooth steamed egg)

Method

1) Mix egg and water together and whisk till well combined.

2) Sieve the egg mixture into steaming bowl or plate.

3) Boiled water in steamer. When water bubbling boiled, turn heat to medium. Put in bowl/plate with egg mixture and steam for 30-40 minutes.

4) Dish out and top with a little soy sauce and white pepper. Serve hot ...
