Hearty and Fluffy Cabbage and Crown Daisy Steamed Egg
How to Make Nutritious Cabbage and Crown Daisy Steamed Egg as a Meal Replacement
This is the perfect meal replacement for breakfast! Try making a fluffy steamed egg using plenty of chopped cabbage and any leftover vegetables from your fridge. It’s a satisfying meal that feels like an omelet, yet is gentle on your stomach. Seasoned lightly to be enjoyed without rice, the addition of cabbage makes it filling yet keeps you feeling light and comfortable. It’s easy to digest, satisfying, and won’t weigh down your stomach, making it an ideal meal. Using the microwave simplifies the cooking process, eliminating worries about overcooking or burning. Simply mix the ingredients well, place them in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a plate leaving a slight gap, and let it cook evenly. The microwave does all the work! Check for doneness by pressing the center with a spoon; if it feels firm, it’s ready. If it’s still jiggly, microwave for another 1-2 minutes. The sight of this tender steamed egg is enough to make you want to dig in with a spoon! The sweet cabbage and vibrant green crown daisy create a visually appealing and delicious combination that’s a perfect match. Dip your spoon in and enjoy the yumminess! You’ll also love the savory broth that accompanies the cabbage steamed egg. This recipe is one of the reasons cabbage is always in my fridge. It’s a smart dish that delivers on taste, color, nutrition, and health benefits all at once. Let’s get started!
Ingredients- 3 eggs
- 50g cabbage
- 2 sprigs crown daisy
- 2cm zucchini
- 1cm carrot
- 300ml anchovy-kelp broth
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
- 2/3 Tbsp fish sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. We’re preparing a generous portion to serve as a satisfying meal replacement.
Step 2
Finely mince the cabbage. Chopping it finely will ensure it becomes tender when cooked, making it more enjoyable.
Step 3
Finely mince the zucchini and carrot to a similar size as the cabbage. Wash the crown daisy, trim the stems, and finely chop the leaves.
Step 4
Add the minced cabbage, zucchini, carrot, and crown daisy to a microwave-safe dish. Using a ceramic or glass container is recommended for microwave cooking.
Step 5
Prepare anchovy and kelp broth by simmering them together. (If you don’t have this, store-bought broth or water can also be used.)
Step 6
Pour 300ml of the prepared anchovy-kelp broth into the dish with the eggs. It’s okay if the broth is hot; using hot broth can shorten the cooking time.
Step 7
Using a whisk, gently stir the eggs, minced vegetables, and broth in the dish until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps and everything is evenly mixed.
Step 8
Add 2/3 Tbsp of fish sauce for seasoning. You can substitute this with soy sauce if preferred.
Step 9
Add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup. (I initially planned to use 2/3 Tbsp but adjusted to 1 Tbsp after tasting. Feel free to adjust to your preference.)
Step 10
Gently stir again to ensure all seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture and vegetables. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 11
Cover the dish with a plate, leaving a slight gap for steam to escape. Microwave for 7-8 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. To check for doneness, gently press the center of the steamed egg. If it feels firm, it’s cooked. If it’s still wobbly, microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes.
