Exclusive Pickled Mustard Egg Custard

Exclusive Pickled Mustard Egg Custard

A silky steamed egg custard whisked with warm water and topped with savory pickled mustard tuber, gently steamed under a cover so the surface stays smooth and bubble-free.

    Add a little bit of salt (there will be pickled mustard later), and mix it with warm water.

    Put cold water on the pot and cover with plastic wrap. (I didn't have plastic wrap at home, so I used a plastic bag instead. At 9 minutes into steaming, it suddenly stuck to the surface of the custard, so I removed it 😅) Steam over medium-low heat for twenty-five minutes. Towards the end of steaming, open the lid every two to three minutes and then cover it again, so the custard doesn't form bubbles.

    If you poke it with a chopstick and there is no egg liquid, it's cooked.
