Methods for steaming egg cakes

Step 1: Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the right amount of salt and cooking wine. We will only put a little bit of salt for seasoning when we steam the eggs, in fact, this is not enough at all.

Because the egg is a very fishy kind of thing, steamed out of the egg fishy flavor will be more serious, if you only put the salt, it can not be deodorized, so we'd better put a little bit of cooking wine in it. The wine can get rid of the fishy flavor of the eggs, steamed eggs even if they are cooled, there will be no fishy flavor.

Step 2: Stir in warm water. Many people steam eggs, in order to facilitate, will pour cool water in the egg mixture, it is really such a simple operation, it will make the egg inside the fishy flavor and air bubbles. If you put in warm water, it will make the egg more smooth and tender, and also can maximize the small air bubbles eliminated.

Note: When we put in warm water, we need to put it in a ratio of 2:1 with the egg so that the egg will be more smooth in the mouth. That is, when we are steaming eggs, the proportion of water is actually very important, eggs into the bowl, to use warm water to stir clockwise, and the direction can not be changed, can not be too hard, otherwise it will be a lot of bubbles, add cold water will make us steam out of the eggs hard, but also old, but also affects the texture of the food.

Step 3: Filter with a strainer. Many people steamed eggs when the eggs stirred, will be directly on the pot steam, in fact, this is very wrong, we stirred the eggs have a lot of small bubbles, which will make the eggs steamed out of a little bit of good-looking, and the entrance is not so tender

Eggs stirred evenly after we cover a layer of plastic wrap on the bowl, and then tie a few holes, in fact, this step is very critical, if you don't cover plastic wrap, the surface of the steamed eggs will appear to be a little more than a little more than a little more than a little more than a few holes. If you don't cover the plastic wrap, the surface of the steamed egg will appear a lot of honeycomb, and then it will not be delicious.

The fourth step: hot water on the pot. Many people steamed eggs, the pot is put in the cool water, but this will make the eggs cooked slow, and cool water has been steamed, but also let the eggs of the fishy smell emitted, so we steamed eggs, it is best to put in the pot of hot water, which not only can shorten the time of steaming eggs, the hot water directly on the pot will make the eggs of the fishy smell quickly evaporate, will not always stay in the pot.

The water in the pot will be hot, and then put the eggs into the pot to steam for 7 to 8 minutes, after steaming, do not rush to take it out, let it smothered in the pot for 2 minutes, so that the eggs out of the more tender, the elderly and infants and young children are very like to eat.
