Golden Skin Tri-Colour Egg - CNY week #1


Happy Chinese New Year to all!! Still many days of celebration to go...

It's been 10 days of rest. I was feeling a bit lazy to start posting again. Haha, but can't lose the momentum, once it slows down, then it'll just get slower and slower. Anyway, here I am again.

I made this dish for this year's reunion dinner. This is not my creation. I first tasted tricolour steamed egg in restaurants, and it's usualy silky smooth, like silken tofu, or steamed egg. But this version that I tasted in a Japanese buffet in Sunway Giza is very different. It's sliced and firm. Mike fell in love with it. So, how can I not recreate something that my hubby loves. But I'm sure the restaurant didn't use soy milk for this. I purposely made a small amount of soy milk for this dish so that it'll create a firmer texture.



Golden Skin Tri-Colour Egg
Recipe source: Wendyywy

Ingredients

Base layer
3 salted egg whites
2 egg whites
200ml unsweetened soy milk (check volume of eggs whites before putting in)
3 century eggs

Golden skin layer
3 salted egg yolks (steamed and mashed)
2 egg yolks
1 egg
50ml unsweetened soy milk (check volume of eggs whites before putting in)

Method:
1. Prepare base layer. Coarsely chop century eggs.
2. Mix salted egg whites and egg whites. Measure volume. Put in equal amounts of soy milk.
3. Prepare golden skin. Mix egg yolks with egg. Measure volume and put in soy milk. The soy milk should be 50% of the egg volume.
4. Mash steamed salted egg yolks and mix with egg yolk mixture. Pour mixture into a strainer and mash balance of salted egg yolks in strainer. Pour egg mixture over strainer (with the egg yolks that can’t pass by the strainer) and strain again, stirring all the while to facilitate the yolks to pass the strainer.
5. Line a 6X6 steaming dish with cling wrap for microwave cooking(or any heat safe cling wrap). Prepare your steaming vessel (wok or ur steamer)
6. When steaming water has come to a boil, mix prepared egg whites with chopped century eggs and pour into steaming dish.
7. Cover with lid and steam on medium low heat for 5 minutes or until surface sets but still wobbly.
8. Gently pour in egg yolk mixture and cover with lid again.
9. Turn heat to low and steam for another 10-15 minutes until surface sets.


There were leftovers of this dish after the dinner, and Mike's aunts prepared some porridge the next day with leftover roasted chicken and threw in these as well. Yummylicious!

  4. I think I am in trouble...lately when I see yummy dishes like these, I also see the calories and cholesterol that come with them. Don't know how can I continue to blog like this... The version I normally get to eat is more tender. When I first saw the photos, I had thought these are agar agar ...hahah ..interesting modification.

  10. Jess Kitchen,
    Oh yes, this is delicious.



    Swee San,
    U want this for saturday too? kekeke.



    Zoe,
    Yeah, the colour's very pretty.



    Shirley,
    Haha, it's like that. Good food always comes with a price, not always monetary, but in calories and cholesterol.



    Bee,
    This is unlike the usual tricolour egg. Firmer :)



    Nikel,
    Oh no, this was taken before the eggs were served. All pictures were taken before they were eaten.



    Mary Ng,
    Like eggs? Salted eggs and century eggs taste are more prominent.



    Little Inbox,

    An unreachable dream,
    Hope u like it

  20. Jeannie,
    Haha, yeah, going to the restaurant to eat is better than making this yourself, unless you're feeding a party. 9 eggs in total is not easy to ingest for a small family.



    busygran,
    Tri color eggs is actually quite common, it's just the golden skin presentation that is new



    Sweetylicious,
    thanks



    鲸鱼蓝蓝蓝,
    Thanks



    Cathy,
    It was the layers that made it felt it different :)



    dinewithleny,
    Thanks



    Min,
    Yeah, anything golden is suitable for CNY. Haha.



    Gert,
    My hubby's aunt requested for the recipe so that she can bring it to a pot luck. It's perfect party food cos it's made with 9 eggs!!! Haha!



    HomeKreation,
    Thank you



    DG,
    I do find the added soy milk in it adds some richness, hehe, like a pudding.



    lena,
    Ipoh ah, So far Kizuna no lor. I'm a frequent there, kekeke. Of all the jap restaurants I've ever went to (Not sushi bars), I've never saw this, except at this restaurant in Sunway Giza.
    You ah, so sayang not coming. I'll eat ur portion, don't worry.



    Jennifurla,
    thanks

  24. Hi Wendy,

    I have tried this dish and the eggs do not turn out exactly the same as yours. May I ask whether the salted egg white is steamed before mixing or in liquid form?

    Btw where can I get unsweetened soy milk? I can't seem to find in the market hence i bought Mr bean soy milk without sugar :)

    Hope to get your reply soon:)

  25. Hailun,
    Salted egg white is used raw, After steaming it will solidify, no way you can mix it in.
    I don't know how things are in your market, but any unsweetened soy milk will work great, provided it's concentrated and not too diluted.
    What did u mean when the dish didn't look like mine? watery? then it's undercooked.
    Steaming time differs with your wok/pot.

  26. Hi Wendy,

    Thanks for your reply. I have used steamed salted egg whites instead of raw one.

    I have also used wok to steam the eggs instead of steamer. so perhaps I should really keep my heat low.

    Another question. I have noticed a layer of yolk juice when the eggs are cooked. Initially I thought that the eggs are uncooked hence I steamed it longer, however the juice remained. I have noticed in your picture too. May I know is it due to the equipments are not fully dry?

  27. Hailun,
    I also use my wok to steam everything here on this blog, whether it's bamboo racks or those steaming pots or wok, it's all bout heat control and 'know your vessel's temperament'
    Eggs are raw when they still feel like raw eggs, the 'wetness' is just collected vapour.
    Nothing to do with dryness of equipment.
