Easy Microwave Steamed Egg Recipe: A Simple and Quick Egg Dish
Today, we’ve prepared a super easy steamed egg recipe that you can make conveniently in the microwave! This is perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.
Ingredients- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp mirin (rice wine)
- 1/2 cup water (approx. 100ml)
- A small amount of chopped green onion
- A small amount of chopped carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s gather all the ingredients for our steamed eggs. You’ll need 3 fresh eggs, 1/2 cup (about 100ml) of water for a tender texture, 1 teaspoon of salt for flavor, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for a hint of sweetness, and 1 tablespoon of mirin (rice wine) to enhance the flavor and reduce any eggy smell. We’ll also add some finely chopped green onions and carrots for color and nutrients. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference!
Step 2
Grab a microwave-safe bowl that’s large enough to hold the mixture. Crack the 3 eggs into the bowl. Add the 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of mirin. Whisk everything together gently with a fork or chopsticks until the eggs are well combined and the salt has dissolved completely. Then, stir in the chopped carrots and green onions until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3
Cover the top of the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent splattering. Once covered, use a fork or a toothpick to poke a few small holes in the plastic wrap. This step is crucial as it allows steam to escape during cooking, preventing the steamed eggs from bursting or becoming unevenly cooked.
Step 4
Place the covered bowl into your microwave. Cook on high power for about 4 to 5 minutes. Please note that cooking times can vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. It’s a good idea to start with 4 minutes, check the doneness, and add another 30 seconds to 1 minute if needed, until the egg mixture is set and has a jiggly, custardy texture.
Step 5
And there you have it! Perfectly fluffy microwave steamed eggs, ready in under 10 minutes. Enjoy them immediately while they’re warm for the best, soft texture. For an extra touch of flavor, you can drizzle a little sesame oil or sprinkle some sesame seeds on top just before serving. It makes a wonderful light breakfast or a simple side dish!
