Everyone Loves This Dish – Steam for 10 Minutes, Golden and Fragrant, Perfect for Opening Your Appetite
The whole family loves this dish, just steam it for 10 minutes. It's golden and fragrant, making your mouth water.
I really like using the steaming method to cook. Prepare the ingredients, put them in a steamer, and you can steam several dishes at once – it's time-saving and stress-free. Besides the simple preparation, steamed dishes can also reduce the use of oil, preserving nutrients and avoiding greasiness. How great is that?
Recently, our household's vegetables are short, but we have a lot of meat and eggs. Let's make delicious dishes with them. It's a good opportunity to hone our skills during our long days at home. I used to never buy processed meats like sausages, thinking they lacked fresh meat and nutrients. Now I realize that these processed meats also have their advantages, such as easy portability and preservation, and they're not entirely without nutrition. During this special period, these foods are especially important. So, we need to look at things from a balanced perspective.
This recipe builds on steamed eggs by adding other ingredients. The finished product has a great taste and is worth a try.
Ham and Egg Steamed Dish
Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 ham sausage, 2 egg tofu, scallion to taste.
Seasonings: Salt, light soy sauce, sesame oil.
Instructions:
1Prepare all the materials.
2Crack the eggs into a bowl, add 2 grams of salt, and slowly pour in the hot water while stirring constantly until fully mixed. After mixing, set aside.
3Wash the egg tofu, cut it into two pieces, squeeze out the egg tofu, and cut it into slices.
4Remove the skin from the ham sausage and cut it into small pieces for preparation.
5Place a deep dish, first put the sliced egg tofu, then pour in the previously prepared egg mixture, and add the sliced ham sausage pieces.
6After preparation, put it in a steamer and steam it after the water boils. The steaming time is about 8 minutes, and the fire should be medium, not too large.
7After steaming, drizzle with light soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle with chopped scallion.
8This dish is beautiful when spooned – one spoonful at a time. The egg tofu is tender and the steamed egg is also tender and smooth, paired with ham sausage, it's really delicious.
Extra Notes:
I like to add hot water to steamed eggs, slowly adding the egg mixture, and fully mixing it. This makes the steamed eggs more tender and smooth.
When steaming eggs, use medium heat. High heat will easily produce honeycomb. If the steaming time is too long, honeycomb will appear. The eggs I steamed today had some small honeycomb because the fire was too high, but they were still okay to eat.
Ham sausage is a preserved meat with a salty flavor, and the egg mixture also contains salt. You don't need to add too much light soy sauce.
Replace the ham sausage with stir-fried meat, and this dish will be even more delicious.
