STEAMED EGG CUSTARD
Steamed egg custard is valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for supporting the Stomach and Spleen, helping the body digest food and transform nutrients into Qi. This warm, gentle dish is easy to absorb and often recommended to nourish the digestive system when energy feels weak or depleted.
Boil water for steaming. Set up a steamer basket or a rack in a pot with 1–2 inches of water. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a steady simmer.
Beat eggs just until combined (don’t whip foamy). Stir in warm water/broth and salt.
In a shallow bowl, add the soaked rice noodles then pour the egg over the noodles.
Place the bowl in the steamer and cook on low for 12-15 minutes.
Remove from steamer and top with a drizzle of soy sauce, sesame oil and scallions.
Hint: You can also mix the topping in a bowl then drizzle the combination over the custard.
Optional: Add shrimp and/or serve with bok choy. Bok Choy: A Liver-Loving Food!
