Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 100ml milk
Seasoning & Extras
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 1/2 slice of cheese
- Pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 1/2 slice of cheese
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 3 large eggs into a microwave-safe bowl. Ensure you are using a dish specifically designed for microwave use for safety.
Step 2
Before whisking the eggs, add 2 Tbsp of cooking wine (mirin) and a pinch of salt. This step is crucial for eliminating any eggy smell and enhancing the overall flavor.
Step 3
Whisk the eggs thoroughly, then pour in 100ml of milk. While you can use water or broth, using milk will result in a wonderfully creamy and rich steamed egg.
Step 4
Stir the milk and egg mixture well. Now, it’s ready to be microwaved.
Step 5
Before placing it in the microwave, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Pierce the wrap about 3-4 times with a fork or toothpick to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Step 6
For the best results, avoid microwaving all at once; it’s better to stir halfway through. Microwave for about 2 minutes, then carefully remove, gently stir the mixture, re-cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for another 2 minutes. Microwaves tend to cook the outer edges faster, so stirring ensures the egg steams evenly and results in a consistently smooth and delicious texture. The total cooking time after stirring should be around 2 minutes.
Step 7
Finally, top with half a slice of cheese before serving. While the cheese is optional, its savory flavor complements the steamed egg beautifully. Enjoy your delicious creation!
