Steamed Bun: A Steamed Food Experiment

Hello reader, it's only a day late, sorry about that.
So, yesterday, I decided to experiment by steaming an egg, hoping to make something like egg tofu.

The result was really fluffy. Also overcooked. It smelled overcooked. However, it was not burnt. The only thing affected was the smell.





Also, it was not just egg, it was egg with other ingredients like milk.

So today I decided I wanted to make a steamed sweet bread.

In fact, I have just finished making it, and it looks good. So here's a recipe guys [REALLY SIMPLE ;D]:

  • 50 grammes of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 50 grammes of flour
  • 40 grammes of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
And good news, even if it smells like you oversteamed it, just let it sit until the smell goes away. It's pretty hard to mess it up, which is good for people like me that get distracted easily. Also, I made this just a little sweet, so you can make it sweeter if you want, but this bread must be something traditional since my mom told me it is like a taste from her childhood.

This generally makes 2 little steamed breads.

Place your egg and milk into a bowl and beat them.

Then add your flour and whisk to incorporate.

Once the flour is mixed in, beat in the sugar, followed by gently stirring in the baking soda.



Place a cupcake liner into a small dish, one that is ovenproof, and then pour in the batter. You can pour the batter up to 1-2mm away from the top of the cupcake liner. 

Boil water, and once it starts to boil, place a rack into the pan for steaming. Place your bowls onto the rack, and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until you can stab it with a toothpick and it feels solid all through.




Steam away!!
