Some sweet stuffs!!

I have to admit that I'm a 'sweetie' person. I like sweet things very much but due to the health reason, I managed to control my 'sweet' consumption.

Today I would like to introduce you a traditional Chinese dessert called 'Steamed Egg'. It's very easy to made and is nutritious too! Hope you enjoy it.

The Ingredients:

  • fresh eggs
  • water
  • Chinese crystal sugar
The Steps:
  1. Cook the Chinese crystal sugar with water till melt. Set aside the sugar water till it cool. Ready to use.
    Note: Sweetness of the sugar water depends on individual.

  2. Boil some water using the wok/steamer, get ready a steam based/stand.

  3. Beat the fresh eggs evenly using a bowl.

  4. Measure the 'cooled' sugar water using another bowl, the portion of the fresh eggs and sugar water should be 1:1.

  5. Mix well the beaten eggs and sugar water together.

  6. Pour the mixture into several smaller bowls. (can use rice bowl)

  7. Put the small bowls into the wok/steamer once the water is boiled.

  8. Steam the mixture for about 5 minutes.
    Note: The timing for the steaming process may varied due to the utensils used may varied. You need to do some experiments on it to get the perfect results.

  9. Ready to serve.
    Note: A well done steamed egg surface should be smooth and the textures should be tender and milky.
This picture was not a good example as I over steamed it for 2 minutes causing the surface not so smooth.
