Steamed egg with shrimps that is more tender than pudding

Overview

Egg custard is probably the dish that every family cooks most for their children. Occasionally changing the dishes will make the custard more nutritious and more fresh for the children. The nutrition of fresh shrimp is several times or even more than ten times that of fish, eggs, and milk. The protein in shrimp is a protein source that provides children with balanced nutrition. Eggs are rich in protein, fat, vitamins and other minerals needed by the human body. The two ingredients make a steamed egg with shrimps, which is delicious and beautiful. It is rich in nutrients and has the effect of strengthening the brain and stomach. It is especially suitable for the elderly, children and people with weak spleen and stomach. Steamed egg custard may seem simple, but it is the most demanding dish. Any more is too old, and any less is undercooked, so you need to master some tips to avoid steaming the egg custard into a dry and difficult-to-eat honeycomb. The secret is to add water when beating the egg liquid. Adding cold water will affect the fusion of water and egg liquid, and will also cause the egg liquid to precipitate during the steaming process, so warm boiled water must be used. Add an appropriate amount of warm boiled water and stir evenly. Skim off any floating bubbles on the surface. The custard steamed without cling film will melt in your mouth like pudding. It is fresh and delicious and easy to absorb. Not only will your children not be able to get enough every time, but you, who are concerned about your health, can also eat one bowl at a time without feeling guilty.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First of all, let’s prepare the ingredients needed to make this jelly custard: 2 eggs, 5 shrimps, and a few green peas. When the children were young, the most expensive food supplements were made of wood-fired eggs. Later, various experts refuted the rumors and said that the nutrition of wood-fired eggs is the same as that of ordinary fresh eggs, so as long as you want to eat steamed egg custard today, you can make it with any type of eggs. If you don’t have fresh shrimp, you can also use frozen shrimp. You can also buy peas in winter. If you don’t have peas, you can use green onions instead. It mainly plays a role in adding color and freshness.

   

2. 2 Crack the eggs into the prepared bowl. You are not going to use plastic wrap for the egg custard you are making today, so the water you add to beat the eggs is warm water. Because the purified water has fewer impurities, the steamed custard will have a more delicate texture. I use about 160 ml of water for two ordinary wood-fired eggs. Peel the fresh shrimps, remove the fishy strands, pour in a little cooking wine and marinate; wash the green peas and cook in a small pot for 2 minutes.

   

3. 3 When beating eggs, use chopsticks to stir clockwise until the egg whites and yolks are fully blended. Then pour warm water into the egg bowl at a steady speed. Continue stirring until the egg liquid and water are combined, and stir until a dense layer of foam appears on the surface. Since the egg custard is for babies, it is slightly light and delicious, so I did not add salt when whisking the egg liquid, and just added some light soy sauce to season it when it was finally out of the pot.

   

4. 4 Fully combine the warm water and egg liquid. The light yellow egg liquid will be uniform in color and has no graininess. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the floating foam on the egg liquid, otherwise the steamed egg custard will not taste delicate enough.

   

5. 5 Add an appropriate amount of water to the steamer, place the mirror-flat egg liquid cold pot into the steamer, cover the pot and steam over high heat for 8 minutes. Although steamed egg custard is simple, it requires a lot of heat. One minute less will make it too tender, and one minute more will make it stale. So if you are afraid of leaving the kitchen after starting it, you can set the alarm clock on your phone like me so that you can turn off the fire in time.

   

6. 6 After the custard steamed for 5 minutes, open the lid. The egg liquid has basically solidified. Arrange the prepared shrimps and cooked green peas in a spiral shape on the custard. The shrimps are too big, so I cut off part of them. Only the shrimp tails are enough. The shrimps and green beans are arranged a bit like a Bagua array. Cover the pot and continue steaming for 5 minutes.

   

7. 7 Turn off the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes before opening the lid, because cold air entering the pot will cause the ingredients to shrink. The tender egg custard is steamed, with three primary colors of yellow, green and red, and it looks fresh and delicious.

   

8. 8 Use anti-scalding bowl tongs to take out the steamed shrimp egg custard and place it on the stove. Don't rush to eat. Season it before serving. First add a spoonful of seafood soy sauce or light soy sauce to add flavor, and then add 2 drops of sesame sesame oil to enhance the aroma. The soft, tender and fragrant shrimp steamed egg is ready to eat. The texture is more delicate than pudding. How about it? Doesn’t the method look super simple? As smart as you are, you can figure it out at a glance. If you have time, make a love brand shrimp steamed egg for your family! No matter how simple a dish is, it becomes more delicious when soaked with the taste of love.
