Super Simple 3-Minute Microwave Steamed Egg: No Dishwashing Hassle!
Soft and Delicious 3-Minute Steamed Egg Recipe
Introducing a 3-minute microwave steamed egg recipe that’s easy to make and minimizes dishwashing! Its soft texture and nutritious vegetables make it a delightful dish for everyone, young and old.
Essential Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 100g water (50g per egg)
- 1 Tbsp finely minced broccoli
- 1 Tbsp finely minced carrot
- 0.5g salt (about a pinch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 2 eggs. Since the ratio is 50g of water per egg, measure out a total of 100g of water. Wash the fresh broccoli and carrot thoroughly and mince them very finely. Finely chopped vegetables are key to a smooth and visually appealing steamed egg.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the 2 eggs and the measured 100g of water. Make sure to prepare them for mixing.
Step 3
Now, add the minced broccoli and carrot to the egg mixture. Use a fork to stir everything together thoroughly. Stirring with a fork is crucial here! It prevents the egg whites and yolks from clumping, ensuring a smooth texture – the secret to perfect steamed eggs. Mix until there are no lumps.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture and vegetables into a microwave-safe dish. Cover it with plastic wrap. Importantly, slightly open one edge of the plastic wrap before microwaving to allow steam to escape. This prevents the wrap from bursting and keeps the contents from splattering, ensuring safe cooking.
Step 5
Place the prepared dish in the microwave and heat for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage. It’s a good idea to check the consistency around the 3-minute mark and adjust the time if needed. You’ll have a wonderfully jiggly and soft steamed egg!
