Steamed Egg over Chicken


Another home cooking recipe. It’s easy and healthy, plus definitely fill your stomach when eaten with rice.

Ingredients:
200-250 gr of minced chicken
4-5 eggs, beaten
1.5 tbsp corn flour
Seasoning: sugar, salt, pepper sesame oil

How to:
beat the eggs until light (not frothy) add about 3 tbsp of water and season it with sugar, salt, pepper and sesame oil to your taste
combine chicken in a bowl (the one that fit your steamer – must be made from porcelain) with corn flour, sugar, salt and pepper.
on top of the chicken, pour in the eggs
steam for about 25 min (constantly check until the egg is hardened enough)

Tips:
if you overcook it, the egg will look like a fluffy dry sponge and have a slight grayish color (due to the sesame oil).
corn flour can be omitted because I only use it to tenderize the chicken and keep the chicken broth in the meat
If you don’t add water on the egg, the egg will be very hard and don’t have the creamy light texture
option to those who don’t have steamer, you can micro it (but I never try it before) with low heat (those option to thaw meat) and wrap the bowl with plastic wrap (egg could explode when micro)
