How to make steamed eggs without wasp nests?

As we all know, steamed eggs are a popular food. They are fragrant, tender and delicious, and have high nutritional value. Eating them in moderation is good for the body. Many people like to eat steamed eggs, especially children. There are certain skills to steaming eggs. So how do you steam eggs without bubbles? Let's take a closer look!

How to steam eggs without bubbles

There are many ways to cook eggs, including steaming, boiling, frying, stewing and frying, and the methods are relatively simple. Steaming eggs is just one of the simplest and most convenient methods. If you want to steam the eggs without bubbles, smooth and refreshing, pay attention to the following points to ensure that your steamed eggs are smooth and free of bubbles, and have no fishy smell.

The first step is to choose ingredients

There are many varieties of eggs, including chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, etc. Among them, chicken eggs are the most suitable for steaming eggs. Chicken eggs have a light fishy smell, while duck eggs and goose eggs have a stronger fishy smell. Ducks and geese are basically fed with feed and are raised by rivers and ponds for a long time. Ducks and geese will eat small fish and shrimps when they go into the water. The eggs laid by ducks and geese have a particularly strong fishy smell and are not suitable as ingredients for steaming eggs.

Step 2: Add water to the egg mixture

Many people have many honeycomb holes when steaming eggs. The main reason is that they do not add enough water when stirring the eggs. As a result, the egg liquid is thicker and the steamed egg custard is stiffer. The correct way is to add a little water when beating the eggs into a bowl, and stir the eggs constantly with chopsticks or a whisk. If the eggs are not stirred evenly, the steamed eggs will easily have lumps. The purpose of adding water is to make the steamed eggs softer, tenderer and smoother.

Step 3: Filter impurities in egg liquid

The egg liquid will produce a lot of bubbles after constant stirring. If there are too many bubbles and they are not dispersed, the steamed eggs will form honeycomb holes. At this time, you need to use a filter to filter out the bubbles and impurities in the egg liquid. Wait until the bubbles are completely gone before steaming them in the steamer.

Step 4: Things to note when steaming eggs

When steaming eggs, many people start to get confused. Should they be steamed in cold water or hot water? In fact, it is best to steam the eggs in hot water. If you steam them in cold water, the temperature in the pot will be unstable and you will not be able to budget the time for steaming the eggs. This will cause the steamed egg custard to be too cooked. After the water in the pot boils, put the egg liquid in and steam it for 8 minutes before serving. If you like to eat an older egg custard, you can steam it for two or three minutes longer.

What are the requirements for steamed eggs

Steamed eggs should be free of bubbles, delicate and smooth. Pay attention to the following details:

1. The ratio of eggs to warm water is 1:1.5~1:2. In principle, the more water there is, the more tender the eggs will be. I personally prefer the ratio of 1:1.5, which is just right.

2. The water temperature should be at hand temperature, and not too high to avoid scalding the eggs into egg drop soup.

3. The sifting step is essential to remove bubbles and egg tendons on the surface, which can make the stewed eggs taste more delicate.

4. Be gentle when stirring to avoid excessive bubbles. If time permits, let it sit for 5 minutes after sifting to remove bubbles.

5. Cover with plastic wrap and steam, the surface is not easy to form a crust, and the taste is more tender. At the same time, it prevents more water vapor from entering and affecting the steaming time.

6. One of the possible reasons why large holes may appear in eggs is that the fire is too high, which will make the eggs taste tough and not delicate, so we steam them over high heat and then switch to medium heat.

7. If you use an open container to steam eggs, the time will be shorter. If it is a small and deep container, you need to increase the steaming time. So the 12 minutes here is just for your reference, and it also depends on the steaming container and the firepower.

What are the techniques for steaming eggs?

1. Don't use too big movements when beating the egg liquid, otherwise it will easily form bubbles and the steamed egg custard will have holes.

2. The taste will be better if you filter the egg liquid.

3. If you find that there is still foam in the egg liquid before steaming, you can let it sit for a while and wait for the bubbles to disappear before steaming.

4. When steaming, use low heat and put the food in after the water boils. Do not steam for too long. It is recommended to use a timer.

5. I think covering the plate is more practical. It is better than plastic wrap and more convenient and quicker. You can also wrap the pot lid with a towel to absorb water vapor, or leave a small gap when steaming.
