Steamed chicken cake is served in a pot with cold water or boiling water

Egg custard is commonly known as "egg cake". When steaming omelets, the eggs are usually beaten first, then warm water and salt are added. Stir well and put it in a steamer with boiling water for a few minutes.

Generally, you can use cold or boiled water, but egg custard will be smoother and tenderer when steamed with hot water, so it is better to take it with boiling water.

Precautions for steaming omelets:

1.Once the eggs are broken, a small amount of salt and water needs to be added. If you add cold water, the egg custard is not tender enough, and the water that is too hot can easily turn the egg mixture into egg drops. So it's best to use warm water at around 45 degrees, which is the degree to which your hands feel hot but not very hot, which is best.

2.You can also add a small amount of oyster sauce and lard to the egg mixture for a better taste.

3.Steam, preferably after the water is boiled, then place the container with the egg wash on the steamer and turn on low heat. The lid must be sewn well, not tightly covered, so that the steamed egg custard will not have honeycomb eyes and taste old.

When steaming cakes, it is recommended to use a pot under cold water, the advantage of a pot under cold water is that it will not make the cake foam, which can make the cake more fluffy and have a better taste when eaten.

Steamed cake is a common dessert in life, and we should pay attention to the following three points when steaming the cake again:

1. Beat the egg whites sufficiently

When making cakes, eggs are a necessary ingredient, and the separation of egg whites and yolks should be achieved when making cakes, which is an important factor affecting egg white whipping.

Generally speaking, the more thoroughly the egg whites are separated, the more thoroughly the egg whites will be whipped, and in addition, it is best to use water-free and oil-free tools.

2. Don't take it out of the pot immediately after steaming

After the cake is steamed, it is recommended to wait for about 2 minutes before lifting the lid, which can avoid the collapse of the cake, because the freshly steamed steamed cake is easy to shrink when it is suddenly cold.

3. The freshly steamed cake needs to be placed upside down

The freshly steamed cake is not completely set, and needs to be placed upside down, and it will be formed after natural cooling.

In addition, the time of cake steaming should be paid attention to, and it must be steamed as a cake, otherwise the inside of the cake will be sticky, it looks moist, and the taste is relatively poor.

Steamed chicken cakes should be steamed with hot water instead of cold water, preferably lukewarm or cool.

When steaming egg custard, if you use cold water, the texture of the chicken cake will not be tender enough and it will be too hard. However, if you use boiling water, because the water temperature is too high, it will turn into egg flowers as soon as you put in the egg liquid, so it is best to use warm water, generally about five minutes, which will not affect the taste and will not destroy the nutrition.

Notes:The best way to steam chicken cakes is to boil a pot of water first, not directly, but through the water. Bring the water to a boil before putting the egg mixture on top, then turn on a low heat, leaving a gap.

The steamed egg custard will never have honeycomb eyes, and the taste will not be old.
