Watch Lucas Sin make perfectly steamed eggs in the Food52 Kitchen. The first method is in the microwave (can he do it?). And the second is “loaded” with silken tofu and pork, made in a standard steamer. As always, there's also a “secret” bonus recipe here is for a seasoned soy sauce. GET THE RECIPE ►► f52.co/3FMVhgr

Skip the microwave and use an Instapot instead. I do this almost every morning. 2 inches of water in the bottom, place the egg mixture covered with foil on a colander and steam for 8-9 minutes. Comes out perfectly. Sure it takes longer than 2.5 minutes, but works perfectly.

Steamed eggs are like the Cantonese kids’ Mac n cheese. Lovely soft comfort food. It was a favorite when I was growing up. I’m almost a senior citizen 😅. My grandma use to make it minced pork and baby clams, topped w soy sauce and a bit of scallion oil. And it’s a favorite to this day even w my new adult boys. 😊 will have to try this microwave method. I never mastered steaming so I’d do the French Bain Marie method which is so slow. But looking forward to quick silky steamed eggs.

I only ate this dish (with ground pork inside) as a child when my dad used to cook it and it was never my favourite (it also wasn't done as carefully and the top was all bubbles which is fine) and never thought to replicate it as an adult. Thanks, Lucas, for helping me appreciate this more. There are some things from childhood at home that I never really questioned whether they were specific to my parents or whether they were Chinese classics and it's kind of fun now to spend a moment thinking about how a whole lot of other people in the world also made this. It's easier to tell when it's at a restaurant, but I never saw these sorts of homey dishes at restaurants. Might even give this recipe a try.

As an expat in China, this has been incredibly helpful, insightful and inspiring. I have lived here a year and half and have only incorporated 豆腐皮 (toufu skin) into my cooking. I was falling in love with cooking before becoming an expat but could not find my groove without non-western styles of cooking. This channel is oddly enough bridging a gap between western and eastern styles of cooking. And the whole trial and error thing is real!!!!! especially when pairing an old/new dish with same/different equipment. My kitchen is steamer, rice cooker and wok based. And it's been an adjustment 🥲 let me tell you. I'm used to microwaves and ovens (of which I have neither here).

Watts is basically energy/second so you can easily convert his recipe to your microwave. (700 watts x 80% power level) x 150 seconds = 84,000 joules So just divide 84,000 by your microwave wattage x power level and you’ll have the approximate cook time. Ex: 1,400 watt microwave should be 75 seconds at 80% power (1 min 15 seconds) If you lower the power level to 50% in the same 1400 watt microwave, the equal cook time would be 120 seconds (2 mins). Cooking dish, ingredients etc. will change this a bit but should help you guess a good starting point for experimenting

Love that steamed eggs are getting the attention they deserve-so underrated and delicious! Also, appreciate highlighting the use of soy sauce by properly diluting its potency as a more nuanced layer of flavor for complexity and depth. Kind of like high-proof alcohol is too aggressive to appreciate on its own vs lower-proof spirits, wine or cocktails. The uneven cooking he experienced is probably due to the particular ceramic vessel he used, while beautiful for presentation, ceramic and stone are less porous and retain and build heat faster in microwaves compared to glass plastic or porcelain. Hence the overcooked edges where the eggs come in contact and undercooked center. Any other vessel would result in much more even heating and cooking.
