Ultra-Simple Microwave Steamed Egg: Ready in Minutes When You Have No Side Dishes!
Easy and simple~ Microwave steamed egg.
Ingredients- 3 Eggs
- A small bunch of green onions, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp Milk
- 2 Tbsp Fish Sauce (or salt, to taste)
- 180ml Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Wash and finely chop the green onions, then add them to the bowl with the eggs. The green onions add a beautiful color and a delightful aroma to the steamed egg.
Step 2
Now, let’s add the seasonings that will make this dish delicious. Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk to make the steamed egg extra tender. Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce for a rich umami flavor. If you don’t have fish sauce, you can substitute it with soy sauce or salt, but fish sauce offers a unique depth of flavor. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 3
Using chopsticks or a whisk, gently beat the eggs, green onions, and seasonings together until well combined. Make sure there are no streaks of egg white remaining for a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 4
Next, pour in 180ml of water. Getting the water-to-egg ratio right is key to achieving the perfect consistency for your steamed egg – not too thick, not too watery, just perfectly moist.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the top with a disposable plastic bag or plastic wrap to prevent splattering. (Tip: Pricking a few small holes in the bag with a toothpick can help prevent the contents from overflowing.) Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and stir the mixture gently with a spoon. Stirring ensures the egg cooks evenly. Return it to the microwave and cook for another 3 minutes, or until set. Your delicious steamed egg is now complete!
Step 6
Voilà! In just minutes, you have a wonderfully moist and tender steamed egg. This is a lifesaver when you’re short on side dishes or even for a quick breakfast. Anyone can make this easily with just a microwave, so give it a try!
