About Steamed eggs

Steamed eggs, a delicate and savory custard-like dish, originate from East Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditions. Made by whisking eggs with water or broth, then gently steaming until silky smooth, it offers a subtle yet satisfying flavor that pairs well with various toppings like scallions, soy sauce, or sesame oil. This dish is rich in high-quality protein, vitamins like B12, and essential minerals such as selenium, supporting muscle health and energy production. Its preparation typically involves minimal oil and seasoning, making it a light and healthy option compared to fried egg dishes. However, variations with added ingredients like fatty meats or excessive sodium could impact its caloric and nutritional profile. Ideal as a comforting breakfast, side dish, or light meal, steamed eggs are a versatile option for those seeking wholesome and flavorful cuisine.
