Egg custard is a kind of food steamed with eggs. The general preparation method is to beat the eggs in a bowl, add 1 to 2 times the warm water and appropriate amount of salt to beat and stir them, steam them in the pot, and after they are completely solidified, usually add your favorite seasonings such as vinegar and sesame oil. The high-quality egg custard tastes very smooth and tender. However, if it is not done well, the steamed egg custard will be honeycomb or bubble-like, and the taste will be unsatisfactory. The chive and egg custard is delicious and nutritious, and can be eaten by the general population.
Eggs are one of the best sources of nutrition for human beings. Eggs contain a lot of vitamins and minerals and proteins with high biological value. Each 100 grams of eggs contains 12.7 grams of protein, and the protein contained in two eggs is roughly equivalent to the protein of 3 taels of fish or lean meat. The digestibility of egg protein is also the highest among milk, pork, beef and rice. For humans, the protein quality of eggs is the best, second only to breast milk. Eggs were rated as "the most nutritious breakfast in the world" by a certain American magazine. According to a report in this magazine, eggs not only contain a variety of well-known nutrients, but it also contains two amino acids-tryptophan and tyrosine, these two acids can help the body's antioxidant. The antioxidant content of an egg yolk is equivalent to an apple.
Eggs also have other important micronutrients, such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus, especially the iron in the yolk of 7 mg/100 g. Eggs consumed by babies, pregnant women, and parturients can supplement iron deficiency.
From a nutritional point of view, in order to ensure a balanced diet, meet the needs of the body, and avoid overnutrition, under normal circumstances, it is better for the elderly to eat 1 to 2 eggs a day. For young and middle-aged people who are engaged in mental work or light physical work, it is more appropriate to eat 2 eggs a day; engaged in heavy physical work, they can eat 2 to 3 eggs a day that consumes more nutrients; teenagers and children, due to long body , Metabolism is fast, you can also eat 2 to 3 a day. Pregnant women, parturients, those who are physically weak, and patients in the recovery period after major surgery need to add more high-quality protein. They can eat 3 to 4 eggs a day, but not more. "

4. Slowly pour 2 times the warm water of the egg mixture into the egg mixture, stirring while pouring, with both hands at the same time. At this time, the egg liquid will be thinner and lighter in color than before, and there will be a lot of bubbles at the same time, so filter it through a flour sieve.

Tips:

1. Use 30-40 degrees warm water for the water added to the egg, and mix it well with the egg liquid.

2. The amount of warm boiled water is generally 1 to 2 times that of egg liquid. If you like dry custard, add a little less water. I personally like the ratio of egg liquid to water to be 1:2, so the steamed egg is very tender and smooth.

3. If you want the custard to be delicate and smooth, you must filter the egg liquid first to filter out the foam.

4. In order to prevent the water vapor on the lid of the pot from dripping onto the custard, causing the surface of the custard to be "pitted", it is recommended to cover the steaming bowl with a lid or plastic wrap.
