How to Make Chinese Steamed Egg Custard

Follow these simple steps to make tasty Chinese steamed egg custard:

First, gather your ingredients. You’ll need:

Ingredients	Quantity
Beaten eggs	2 (measuring around 100ml)
Water	200ml
Light soy sauce	To taste
Sesame oil	To taste
Garnish (optional)	As desired

Keep the ratio of eggs to water at about 1:2. So, 200ml of water for 2 eggs.
Mix the eggs and water in a bowl until they blend nicely.
Strain the mix to get rid of lumps. This gives a smooth texture.
If using garnishes like prawns or veggies, place them on the egg mix now.
Wrap the bowl with cling film. This stops water drops from falling onto the custard.
Fill a tall pot with water and set a steaming rack inside. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the rack.
Heat the water on medium until it simmers gently.
Put the bowl on the rack in the pot. It should sit well.
Steam it for 10-15 minutes. Cooking time can change based on bowl size and heat intensity.
Take the custard out once set. Then, carefully remove the cling film.
Add soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste. For a great flavour, slice into the custard so the sauce goes through.
Enjoy your Chinese steamed egg custard while it’s hot!
