How to make "Steamed Water Egg"


I love eggs. My favourite dishes are egg dishes. Eggs are very nutritious as it is a complete Protein with loads of Vitamins & Minerals, low in Glycemic Index (good for those with diabetic risk).

When I was young, i always take 2 half-boiled eggs as breakfast on exam days. I find that it helps with my memory (our education system is mainly on rote learning). Later I found out that it was the Lecithin found in the egg yolk that boost the memory.


Ingredients:
2 Grade A Eggs
1.5x of Water
a pinch of Salt
a dash of white Pepper

For garnishing:
sliced spring onion
pre-fried onion
sliced red chilli (optional)

Crack open the eggs and pour the content into a measuring cup. Note the measurement.
Add 1.5x of water. (eg... if the egg is 200ml, then the water needed is 300ml totaling 500ml)
Add a pinch of salt
Add a dash of white pepper
Beat the mixture, then sift using a mesh strainer into a ceramic bowl/pyrex etc....
Cover the bowl with its top. (If don't have the top, then use aluminium foil to cover the top to ensure the steamed egg emerge with a smooth surface texture)
Steam it for 10 minutes.
Add sliced spring onion and pre-fried onion, then serve...

Enjoy...  ;-P

  1. Check this out with your pressure cooker, Cheah! I haven't tried it, but it sounds very similar to your Milo Egg Dessert!
