Exclusive Steamed Egg Custard with Sunfruit

Exclusive Steamed Egg Custard with Sunfruit

A charming presentation in which a small pumpkin is hollowed out, filled nine-tenths with seasoned beaten egg, and steamed in its own skin until the custard sets.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    One sun fruit, if there are many people, you can steam several at once 😊

  2. 2

    Cut from the stem; small ones serve as lids, large ones serve as bowls.

    Step image

    Use a small knife to scoop out the pulp from the middle, then make the opening of the cup a little bigger to hold more egg mixture. Wash and set aside. Also wash the lid.

    One small Chai chicken egg.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Add a little salt and a little warm water, beat it until broken up, and use a small spoon to skim off the foam.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Pour into the sun fruit until it is nine-tenths full.

  7. 7
    Step image

    Place the steamer basket over cold water and steam over medium-low heat for thirty-five minutes. (Do not cover, it steams more easily.)

    Step image

    After steaming for more than ten minutes, I opened it to check. The top was slightly set, but when I touched it with chopsticks, the bottom was still liquid egg, so I took the lid off and steamed it aside.

    Step image

    As it steams, open the lid frequently to check, otherwise the steam will cause bubbling. Every time I open it, I use chopsticks to poke it to prevent bubbling. It cooks without adding egg liquid. I started with cold water and steamed for about 35 minutes. The fruit may have thick flesh, making it difficult to steam through. Some cover it with a layer of plastic wrap to prevent overcooking; I'll try that next time.
