The custard is tender and fragrant, melts in the mouth and tastes particularly delicious! It is not only nutritious, but also suitable for all ages, especially for infants and the elderly.
Egg custard is not as troublesome as cooking. You can eat it after breaking it up and putting it in a steamer for a few minutes. Children and old people in Bian Xiao like it. They eat it almost every morning.
Small custard looks simple, but it takes a little thought to steam it tender and smooth. By chance, an old chef taught me a few tips, which were particularly practical. Come and share it with everyone!
Tip 1: First of all, we must grasp the ratio of eggs to water. After the eggs are broken up, add some cooking wine, salt and boiled warm water and mix well for later use. Generally, the ratio of egg liquid to water is 1: 1.6, and the steamed egg soup is also the most tender.
Tip: Beat the eggs completely and evenly in one direction, and then filter out the bubbles on the surface of the egg liquid (if there is no strainer, you can let the eggs stand for a while and steam them after the bubbles disappear), so that the steamed eggs are not only fresh and tender, but also have no honeycomb eyes. If you don't know much about the water temperature, you can add cold boiled water.
Tip 2: When the eggs are steamed in the pot, cover the egg liquid. When steaming the egg custard, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate, so that the steamed eggs are tender.
Tip: When steaming eggs, be sure to wait until the steamer is cooked before adding the egg liquid. When boiling water, cover the eggs with plastic wrap, and then stick many small holes with toothpicks. Just wait for the steamer to steam.
Tip 3: Controlling the time of steaming eggs is the key. Generally 1 eggs should be steamed for about 7-8 minutes, and 2 eggs should be steamed for 13- 15 minutes, which should not be too long or too short. Wrap the bowl or cover the plate with plastic wrap to prevent water vapor from dripping into the egg liquid, which will harden the custard and affect the taste and appearance.
Tip: After the custard is steamed, pour in the right amount of sesame oil or it tastes fresh, and sprinkle with chopped green onion to eat. Flat as a mirror, the fresh and smooth custard makes people look particularly appetizing.
