Steamed Egg

How many of you cook? Well, this is very simple dish and quick one too. Is simple but yet it will be a disaster the end result is not waht you want. Here goes the recipe as follows:-

Ingredient

2 eggs

Water (= 6 eggs of water for 2 eggs)

salt & pepper to taste

Garnishing

Chopped Spring onion

Deeped fried Shallots

Sesame Oil

Light soya sauce

Methods

Beat the 2 eggs with water lightly ( do not create bubble) with some salt & pepper till the egg yolk & white are incoporated with water. U can use the a deep plate to steam the egg

IMPORTANT

The amount of water is very important in order to get the right texture for your steamed egg. If too much of water, it will turn water. Too little water will cause your steamed to be hard. It should taste like beancurd but softer & Smoother. To get the right amount of water is to use the egg shell to measure the water. 1 egg requires 3eggs water.refer above picture

Use a steamer with medium fire. Make sure that water is already boiling before you put in the plate of beaten eggs. Ensure the steamer's egg is not fully covered. Let the lid slightly tilted.Allow some steam to get off and also the steam water will not drip directly into the the beaten egg.

Steam for 5 mins. Take a look whether the steamed eggs is fully stabilised or else wait for another 3 mins. When you serve, mix all the garnishing together and sprinkle on top of the steam egg.

The next time I will give a little more variations of steam egg. Learn the basic first..Happy trying!
