Exclusive Chive and Egg Custard

Exclusive Chive and Egg Custard

Fragrant steamed egg custard infused with finely chopped spring chives, mixed with warm salted water and steamed low and slow until impossibly smooth and tender.

Instructions

  1. 1

    1 bunch of spring chives, washed and set aside. 3 eggs from White Qipi chickens.

    Crack the eggs into the bowl.

    Beat thoroughly into an egg mixture. In practice, I use three chopsticks to stir, quickly and continuously, which can break up the egg whites.

    Add some salt to the small bowl.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Add 2 more small bowls of warm water and stir until the salt dissolves.

    Pour the warm water into the beaten eggs and mix well.

    Skim off the foam.

    Take another large bowl and add flavorless vegetable oil.

    Strain the beaten eggs into a large bowl.

    This is the filtered egg mixture, very smooth, without any foam.

  11. 11
    Step image

    Chop the chives finely.

  12. 12
    Step image

    Add to the beaten eggs.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Cover with plastic wrap and poke some small holes with a toothpick.

  14. 14
    Step image

    Put it into a pot of boiling water and steam on high heat. I steamed it for about 14 minutes.

  15. 15
    Step image

    The steamed egg custard is smooth and delicate.

  16. 16
    Step image

    Not much salt was added, and the steamed egg has a light salty taste. You can pour some sauce you like on it; I added a bit of sauce made of seafood soy sauce, aromatic vinegar, and chili oil. A spoonful is quite tender and smooth, and adding some spring chives makes it even more delicious.
