Steamed Egg with Tofu Egg | 蒸玉子豆腐蛋



Steamed egg was one the most often seen dishes on our dining table since I was a child.  My mom needed to work, take care of us, and cook for the family.  So she always tried to look for some simple and healthy recipes, and steamed egg was just a perfect fit.

Steamed egg takes only 10-15 minutes to make from start to finish, and its texture is silky smooth and easy to be digested.  A children-friendly dish.

My son (and my husband too) loves steamed egg.  When we serve it with rice, my son puts it in his mouth spoonful by spoonful.


Adding egg tofu is a popular way to cook steam egg in Hong Kong.  Egg tofu, as the name describes, is the tofu made of soy and egg.  It brings extra texture and nutrients to the dish.
