Many people will cook steamed pumpkin or egg custard in their daily lives. The former is a famous traditional dish in China. When pumpkin and lily are mixed and cooked together, it tastes sweet and delicious, and it also has the functions of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, which is very popular among the elderly and children. However, some people also think that the delicious food cooked with pumpkin and eggs is also worth a try, which leads to pumpkin and egg custard. So, how to cook this delicious food at home?
the first method is to steam the eggs with the whole pumpkin. First, prepare the pumpkin, eggs and appropriate coconut powder. Other ingredients are honey, milk and white vinegar. When you are ready, you should clean the pumpkin, then cut the top of it and use it as a small cover, then dig out all the pulp of the pumpkin with a spoon and wash it for later use. Next, prepare egg custard, pour proper coconut powder into a bowl, then add honey and milk. If there is enough time, it is better to heat the milk, so that it will melt more easily. Then you can pour a little white vinegar into the egg when you beat it, which can effectively remove the fishy smell of the egg itself.
After stirring evenly, you can mix the egg liquid and coconut milk together. In order to ensure the better solidification of the egg custard, you can add a little starch, and finally pour it into the pumpkin, cover the lid and start steaming. Basically, it takes only one hour, and it is best to add a little more water to avoid dry pot. The steamed pumpkin and egg custard can be eaten directly hot or cold, and it tastes excellent.
The second method is more suitable for lazy people, and pumpkin, eggs and black sesame seeds are also used. If you eat it by yourself, you can use an egg and a small piece of pumpkin, peel the pumpkin, steam it, and then mash it with a cooking machine, or if it is soft enough, you can directly mash it with a spoon. In order to avoid being too sticky, you should add a proper amount of water during the mashing process. Then put aside the pumpkin puree. Eggs only need egg yolks, and beat them into the pumpkin puree. After stirring evenly, you can cover them with plastic wrap, put some air holes in them, then steam them in a pan, which will take about ten minutes. After taking out, sprinkle a little black sesame seeds on them to eat.
