About Steamed egg

Steamed Egg, often referred to as "steamed egg custard," is a popular dish in East Asian cuisine, especially in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cooking. Made from whisked eggs mixed with water or broth, it is steamed to create a silky, delicate texture. Variations may include seasonings like soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and additional toppings such as mushrooms, shrimp, or minced meat. Nutritiously, steamed egg is rich in high-quality protein, promoting muscle health and satiety. The dish is low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for various dietary plans. Vitamins A, D, B12, and minerals like selenium and choline from the eggs contribute to immune support and cognitive health. However, sodium levels can be high depending on added condiments. Its simplicity and adaptability make it a wholesome, heartwarming dish appreciated for its balance of flavor and nutritional benefits.
