郭靓太煮炖蛋 ~ Steamed Eggs with Milk Dessert

Remember when i was young, mummy used to make this dessert and we had it frequently as supper.

At Jalan Sayur, Pudu Wai Sik Kai there, also got one aunty selling this steamed eggs since my parents young age. She is getting famous after been reported by the local eater Axian. And that reminds me, its was such a long time we din had this dessert. So we went there few times but the stall is not open. I wander if she already retired.

It's ok, this dessert aint that hard to make, just a few simple ingredients and few simple steps. Let's do this at home~!

*****

Steps 1: Prepare Ingredients (Sufficient for 4 adults)

~ 4 eggs

~ Sugar

~ 2 pack of Full Cream Milk (250ml each)

Steps 2: Crack the eggs into the bowl and add in 2 tablespoon of sugar (this can be adjusted to your likeliness of sweetness)

Steps 3: Pour in the milk then start beating and mixing all the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved and the egg is evenly beaten.

Steps 4: Pour the mixture into the bowl.

As you can see, there is a lot bubble at the surface of the mixture. Try to remove that bubble using the spoon.

After removing the bubble, the mixture surface are "clean"

Steps 5: Covered the bowl with the aluminium foil.

Steps 6: Put the bowl to the steamer. Adjust the timing to 15 minutes. Open the lid of the steamer every 4 minutes to let go the steam.

* You can lift up the foil and check if the egg is cooked. But remember do not drip the steam water to the surface of the eggs else it will spoilt the presentation of the steam egg.

In my case, im not sure if my steamer is not hot enough or my bowl of eggs is too huge, or my bowl are too thick ....whatever it is.... it tooks me 30minutes to get the egg done.

Steps 7: Cooking done.

How to check if the steamed egg is done?

Just shake the bowl and check if the mixture is like gelatin jelly (DONE) or its still watery (NOT DONE).

See the smooth clean surface of the steamed egg after removing the bubble on top.

*****

This dessert is kinda easy, just it had to be careful in controlling the timing and heat while steaming. Either the egg will be overcooked and become old or its took more minutes to get it done. (that's my case).

But overall hubby quite like it, just he hopes that next time i put in more sugar. More sweetness then only it feels more like dessert.

Btw, if im doing this again next round, perhaps i'll replace the full cream milk with the cow's milk or goat's milk, hoping for more nian nian aroma in the steamed egg might results better~!
