Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 ml Low-fat milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 120 ml Water
- 1 tablespoon Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (optional, for seasoning)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them gently until the yolks and whites are combined. Avoid creating too many air bubbles.
Step 2
Add low-fat milk, water, and a pinch of salt to the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or deep plate. This step ensures a silky-smooth texture by removing any clumps or bubbles.
Step 4
Cover the bowl or plate tightly with plastic wrap or a heat-safe lid to prevent water droplets from the steamer lid from falling into the mixture during cooking.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once the water is boiling, place the bowl of egg mixture into the steamer.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer, and steam the egg mixture for 12-15 minutes, or until the surface is set but still jiggles slightly when moved.
Step 7
Carefully remove the bowl from the steamer. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before removing the plastic wrap or lid.
Step 8
Optional: Garnish with chopped scallions and a dash of soy sauce for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat steamed egg dish!
