If you are looking for a tasty, simple meal, look no further than these Steamed Eggs.
I found the recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, The Woks of Life, and was intrigued. The way they described them, I couldn't help but whip up a serving right away. The ingredients are so simple. I had them all on hand.
Eggs
Water
Stock
Salt
Sesame Oil
Scallions
What is different about these is that they do not contain milk or cream, yet the cooking process produces a light and flavorful "custard." If you are looking for a healthier version of a crustless quiche, give this a try.
The recipe below makes enough for four people, but I often use just one egg and make that a single serving. Because the recipe is in proportion, it's easy. For the salt, I only used a pinch, and for the sesame oil, I only used a couple of drops.
If you aren't used to steaming things, it is easy to do. I used a simple metal steaming basket that you can get for under $10. You may also have a steaming insert for your pot. Of course, you can also use a bamboo steamer if you have one.
I loved the topping of scallions. They added a slightly oniony flavor. On the blog, they said you could also add a bit of soy sauce to the top of the finished eggs. I think that would be delicious as well.
Try these when you are looking for something simple for a meal.
