If you want steamed egg custard to be smooth and tender, you should pay attention to the ratio of eggs to hot water, the heat of the steamed eggs, and the container of the steamed eggs.

1. The ratio of eggs to hot water

If you want the steamed egg custard to be smooth and tender, you must pay attention to the ratio of egg liquid to hot water. In the usual method, eggs The ratio of egg liquid to hot water is generally 1:1. If you want the steamed egg custard to be more tender, you can add 5 to 10 more water, but not too much, otherwise it will be difficult to form. The water temperature only needs to be above 50 degrees. That's it.

2. The heat of steamed eggs

Pay special attention to the heat of steamed egg custard. First, boil the water in the steamer, that is, boil the water in the steamer first, and then put the egg custard on it to steam. If the gas fire is too strong, it will be better to steam slowly over medium heat. If you use an electric steamer, it will be much easier. You can just set the time to steam.

3. Container for steamed eggs

For steamed egg custard containers, it is recommended to fix a container for steaming egg custard, because the steaming time will vary with containers of different depths and sizes. Too much the same, you have to adjust the time when changing the container. In addition, the container must have a lid. Every stew pot will have a lid. If you use a plate to steam, just put a flat plate upside down on top. Some people also use high-temperature-resistant plastic wrap, but it is more convenient to cover the plate. .

How to make egg custard

1. First, we prepare a few eggs according to our own food intake and beat them all into a bowl. You can put some salt in it to increase the base flavor, and then beat the eggs evenly.

2. Now it’s time to put in the water. Many people tend to make mistakes. Should they put in cold water or boiling water? None of them are correct. The most correct thing is to add warm boiling water, then continue to beat evenly after adding warm boiling water.

3. After stirring the egg liquid evenly, there will be a lot of foam on it. Many people will use a sieve to sift it, but it is not necessary. We just use a small spoon to skim out these small bubbles, saving time and effort.

4. After skimming out the small bubbles, do not steam it directly in the pot. We need to put a layer of plastic wrap on top of the egg liquid, and then use a toothpick to poke a few small holes in the plastic wrap.

5. Now you can start steaming. Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil. After the water boils, we will put the egg liquid on it and steam it. Generally, we only need to steam the steamed egg custard over medium heat for about 12 minutes. It will be in a very tender and smooth state. If the steaming time is longer, it will easily become stale.
