How many minutes does it take to steam an egg?

Steamed egg is actually what we often call steamed egg. Steamed eggs can preserve the nutrients in eggs very well. Moreover, cooking with steam can reduce the cholesterol content in the egg yolk. Steamed eggs are especially easy to absorb and are very suitable for the elderly, children and patients. When making steamed eggs, the steaming time is very important. If you are not careful, the eggs will become old. So, how do we control time?

1. Ingredients: 3 eggs

2 scallions 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 tablespoon soy sauce 2 drops sesame oil 1 bowl of warm water

2. Prepare eggs and chives.

3. Beat the eggs into a bowl and add half a teaspoon of salt.

4. Beat the egg liquid, then add about 1.5 to 2 times the amount of warm boiled water into the egg liquid, and use chopsticks to rotate to the right continuously until it becomes as shown in the picture. (It is warm water)

5. Filter the beaten egg liquid with warm water through a powder plug . Some cloth specially used for filtering can also be used. (After filtering in this way, you can remove the impurities in the egg liquid, making the eggs more tender and smooth. This step must not be omitted. The essence of the tenderness of steamed eggs lies here.)

6. Boil the water in the steamer over high heat. After the water boils, add the egg liquid. Cover it with a plate to prevent water from entering the egg liquid. Then turn to medium-low heat and steam for 30 minutes. (If you use high heat to steam, 10 minutes will be enough, but it will form honeycombs and the taste will not be so good.) Of course, if you use a microwave, the time will not need to be so long. There are many types of bowls. I use porcelain bowls, which take a little longer. If it is aluminum tableware, 15 to 20 minutes will be enough. (The water in the steamer must be boiled before adding the egg liquid. This is also the key to preventing honeycombs and the eggs from being not tender enough.)

7. After the steamed egg is cooked , open the plate, pour sesame oil, light soy sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onions, and it's done. Simple, right?

8. Look at the finished product , it is so tender and smooth that it melts in your mouth.

To make a bowl of steamed egg that melts in your mouth, you must follow the steps.
