To steam an egg custard you should steam it for 8-10 minutes, preferably over high heat.

The reason for using high heat for steaming egg cakes is to be able to steam the cake quickly. Using high heat provides enough heat to bring the cake to a cooked state in a shorter period of time. Compared to other cooking methods, steaming is a gentle way of cooking that preserves the original flavor and nutrition of the ingredients. Steaming egg cakes over high heat heats up quickly and solidifies the egg mixture, resulting in a fluffy and delicate cake.

The steaming time is also key to master, usually 8-10 minutes. If the steaming time is too long, the cake may become dry and hard. Therefore, when steaming egg cakes, you need to control the steaming time according to specific recipes or personal experience to ensure that the cake is cooked through without oversteaming.

Precautions for Steaming Egg Cake

1. Use the right amount of water: add the right amount of water to the steamer, not too much or too little. Too much water may cause the custard to become too wet, and too little water may cause the steamer to dry out.

2. Control the heat and time: Choose the appropriate heat and steaming time, and adjust according to your personal taste and preference. Excessive steaming time may result in overcooked or dry custard.

3. Stir well when beating eggs: When beating eggs, make sure to stir the egg mixture well to avoid layering of egg whites and egg yolks.

4, avoid opening the lid frequently: in the steaming process, try to avoid opening the lid frequently, so as not to affect the molding and texture of the egg custard.

5, seasoning in moderation: according to personal taste, add salt, chicken essence, pepper and other seasonings in moderation, but do not overdo it, so as not to affect the texture of the custard.
