Pumpkin Shrimp Custard
1.
Prepare ingredients, Beibei pumpkin and small eggs. This kind of egg is oily chicken baby egg, which is very small. The pumpkin is also this kind of bei pumpkin with waxy noodles. It is delicious when steamed. The shrimps were thawing at the time, and I forgot to take them in;
2.
Cut out a top cover from the top of the pumpkin. My cover is a bit thin, so I can cut it thicker; then I dug out all the flesh in the pumpkin and hollowed it out;
3.
Put the dug out pumpkin in the steamer and steam for 10 minutes;
4.
Here I started to prepare the egg mixture, and use chopsticks to break the egg mixture; (I originally prepared three eggs, but later found out that using two is enough)
5.
Add the same amount of warm water to the beaten eggs, the weight of the egg liquid and the water are the same;
6.
The pumpkin that has been steamed for 10 minutes is already half-cooked;
7.
Pour the mixed egg liquid into the pumpkin cup; (because I beat a lot of egg liquid, so I put the extra in another stewing pot;)
8.
Put it in the steaming box and steam for 10 minutes; after 10 minutes, the egg liquid will solidify slightly, then put a prepared shrimp in it, continue to steam for 5 minutes, and simmer for 2 minutes when it is finished, take it again;
9.
Add some chopped green onions, drizzle with sesame oil and light soy sauce, a beautiful pumpkin, shrimp and egg custard is ready. Isn't it beautiful?
10.
This egg custard uses pumpkin as a cup, which is not only good-looking, but also rich in nutrients. I have washed the pumpkin very clean before steaming, so this pumpkin can be eaten directly with the skin. If you don't want to eat the skin, it is also good to use a spoon from the inside.

Pumpkin flour waxy, noodles, egg custard is tender and delicious, and there is a large shrimp. The children clapped their hands and quickly wiped it out!
Tips:
I use a steamer to steam here, so I don’t need to cover the top of the pumpkin during the whole process, including the steamed custard. The steaming time is slightly longer than using a steamer. If you use a steamer, it is recommended to steam. Put the pumpkin cover on the custard or wrap it in plastic wrap;
For pumpkins, you must choose this kind of glutinous bei pumpkin, which is very delicious when it is steamed. The space in the pumpkin cup is not large. Just use two small eggs for the eggs. The baby chicken eggs I use here are relatively small, a little smaller than ordinary earthen eggs.
