Key Ingredients- 1 pack silken tofu
- 3 fresh eggs
- 1/4 carrot
- 1/4 zucchini
- 3 stalks scallions
- 1/3 paper cup milk
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/3 tablespoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by prepping the vegetables. Finely dice the carrot and zucchini into small pieces for a pleasant texture. Chop the scallions finely as well. For the silken tofu, gently break it into large chunks; this will make for a prettier presentation when it’s done. Ensure all ingredients are cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the egg mixture. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Add 1/3 paper cup of milk for creaminess and 2 tablespoons of water. Don’t forget the 1/3 tablespoon of salt for flavor and a pinch of black pepper for aroma! Whisk everything together until well combined. For an extra silky texture, strain the mixture through a sieve. Your egg mixture is ready!
Step 3
Add all the chopped vegetables to the prepared egg mixture and stir gently to combine. Make sure the carrots, zucchini, and scallions are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. Look at those beautiful colors!
Step 4
Next, prepare your steaming vessel. Choose a microwave-safe bowl that is wide and has a slight depth. Carefully place the silken tofu chunks into the bowl. Gently pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the tofu, making sure not to overfill the bowl. Finally, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent moisture from escaping during microwaving.
Step 5
We’re in the final stage! Place the covered bowl in the microwave and cook for 2 minutes, then repeat for another 2 minutes, for a total of 4 minutes. (Total cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage.) It’s a good idea to check on it halfway through. Your warm and incredibly tender Silken Tofu Egg Custard is now ready to enjoy!
