Steamed eggs are one of the traditional delicacies and a home-cooked dish suitable for all ages. Southerners call it "steamed eggs" and northerners call it "egg soup". Shandong people and Northeast people often call it "steamed cake".

Although "steaming eggs" looks simple, there are still many people who can't do it, not because too much water is put in, which leads to the separation of water and eggs; It is that the boiled eggs are too old and the eggs are honeycomb-shaped. In order to steam delicious boiled eggs, it is necessary to control the amount of water, water temperature, egg beating skills and heat. Wrapping with plastic wrap can prevent water from dripping and damaging the surface during cooking.

Warm water should be used to stir the egg mixture, not cold water or hot water. Boiled eggs steamed in cold water are not tender enough, and hot water is easy to wash egg liquid into egg flowers. The ratio of egg liquid to warm water is 1: 1. You can directly mix with eggshells with high accuracy.

Tips for steaming eggs:

1, the eggs should be fully stirred evenly.

An egg has two parts: egg white and yolk. If the stirring time is short, the egg white and yolk can't be fully integrated, and the steamed eggs can't be delicate and smooth, and they will be white and yellow, which is particularly ugly.

2. Add boiled water or filtered water to the egg liquid.

Why do steamed eggs have many hives? Many people cook steamed eggs and take some tap water directly from the tap. This is not right. Tap water contains air, which will make steamed eggs honeycomb when heated. At the same time, it contains a small amount of bacteria, which is very unhealthy. Therefore, water can only be added with burnt water or filtered water. There is no air, so there will be no honeycomb.

3. Egg liquid should be filtered.

After adding water and stirring evenly, many people steam it directly. At this time, the egg liquid contains some white flocs and a lot of bubbles. Direct steaming will also produce beehives, which are not tender or slippery. The correct way is to filter with a strainer to make the egg liquid more delicate.

4. Wrap plastic wrap or cover a plate when steaming.

If the water vapor on the lid drops into the egg liquid, the surface will be pitted and uneven, so wrapping plastic wrap or covering the plate can solve this problem.

5, boiling water on the pot steaming

Boiling water is steamed in a pot, which is heated quickly and steamed for a short time. Steamed eggs are tender and smooth and will not get old.
