Part of the reason steamed egg is so popular in Chinese cooking is you can make it on top of the rice cooker with a steamer insert. If you always use the same bowl every time, you can just memorize the fill line and it takes less than a minute of active time to add another dish to the dinner table.

[@bananababy605]

I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!! I used it once and thought it was cool but then put it in a drawer and forgot about it. I am totally going to try this now!

Could you explain what you mean? I'd like to try it in my rice cooker, but I don't really know what you mean. Thanks in advance.

[@bellenesatan]

@@radoskan Basically, some rice cooker models come with a steel or bamboo steamer basket. It's like a colander with straight walls? You put rice and water in the pot, put the basket on the pot, put food in it, and _then_ you put the lid on. Rice cooks, food steams. 🥰

The steamed egg is an absolute staple in Chinese cuisine because it's so quick and easy to pop into the steamer. You can add soy directly into the egg mixture for more uniform saltiness and clams and veggies for extra umami flavor and substance. Since so much of it is water, it's really good for volume eating too!

I love this video format - exploring a single ingredient. Love to know what you can do with just egg whites. Also, a suggestion: try adding some arugula on top of that egg salad toast, or maybe thin slices of radish. I'm thinking a bit of crispy peppery-ness. Also, I would put strips of bacon between the avocado and egg salad instead of bacon bits in the egg salad itself.

[@kylesutton5933]

I’ve been to a restaurant where they used avocado directly in the egg salad, I believe in place of mayo - not sure if it would help flavor wise with this recipe but at least it eliminates the redundancy of the double fats and is probably slightly healthier

yes, exactly! I've used avocado as a mayo replacement in sauces before so I felt like having both was a bit much on the fat content

the raw egg/soy sauce/rice combo has been around since the early 40's as far as I know. My mom going through WW 2 in Japan as a young adult told me how food was scarce and they made do with what was available. A lot of times they would make rice, mix in a couple raw eggs (the hot rice would cook the eggs a little) and add the soy sauce. I still eat this today, remembering the stories I was told about those times my elders suffered through, and actually, this dish is pretty tasty.

Sadly yes, your ratio of lettuce to Egg was off. But what I make is Tamagoyaki, which is what they did there, but rather than separate the white and yoke, mix it all together and low heat, pour in egg then lay down a sheet of Nori. then when you roll it, you get nori between the layers of egg. So good and really cool to look at. Season and sauce to your liking. :)

Hey man. Justa heads up. It may not be cause your girls are getting older, it my be what they are doing to the feed. Try two days of cracked corn, followed by supplimenting your feed with COOKED and cooled beans and rice. The feed is lysine deficient and effecting production and fertilization. Dont give up on your girls quite yet. Ive had hens that were in full production for 8 + years...

[@TamarLitvot]

Glad to see this. I was wondering about hens aging out of egg-laying. I know on farms those hens go in the pot, but what do backyard chicken-keepers do? And if they age out after only a few years, it’s a terrible waste (and a emotional issue for people who get attached to their chickens). But your comment about hens continuing to lay at 8+ years was comforting.

A pastry chef taught me to make hard boiled eggs by putting them in a steamer/strainer on top of a stock pot with less than an inch of boiling water. Cover. Steam to your perfect done-ness & cool in an ice bath. It's fast because you're only boiling a small amount of water, and it's 100% repeatable for any number of eggs that will fit in your steamer/strainer basket. Eggs from fridge are always the same temperature, steam is always the same temperature, and the temperature doesn't change when you add the eggs. 2 eggs cook just as perfectly as 2 dozen. I've made up to 4 dozen identical eggs in under 10 minutes from turning the burner on to plunging the steamer/strainer into the ice bath. Great for holidays!

[@T3hIluvatar]

I love these videos. For me Tik-toks are too much of a short form and destroy my attention span, so I love that you unravel them into a slower paced video with commentary. I've tried multiple of these recipes and they've all rocked. Also, the egg lettuce could maybe work if you first wilt the lettuce on the pan, then mix it with egg whites and proceed from there? (and add some salt/pepper)

The steamed eggs reminded me of german Eierstich, (i dont know if its only a german thing, but ive never seen it anywhere else).

The steamed egg dish, is similar to custard, but instead of using milk, you use water or chicken stock. Another difference, is when making custard you add sugar which makes it sweet, and for the steamed eggs recipe you add soy sauce and sesame oil which makes it salty, and umami.

Hi Mike, I've used a hardboiled egg method learned from a Jacques Pépin youtube video for quite some time now. Take a push pin and poke it into the fat or round end of the egg prior to putting them into hot water. Cook and cool as usual. I like to have hard boiled eggs on hand to grab and head to work. These eggs will peel as easily as if cracked prior to the ice bath. Every now and then, a shell will crack when hitting hot water but it is rare.

I was going to say, he completely overdid the amount of lettuce, and probably had the heat too high because the lettuce barely wilted down at all by the time his eggs were cooked. And he forgot the salt and any other seasonings like MSG. I think that recipe failing was entirely on him minus the choice to use lettuce. That egg technique with spinach and cheese imo would make more sense though imo, the spinach would be easier to wilt than the lettuce and cheese is cheese it's just good and is a sensible way to add more to the recipe without overcomplicating it. Lettuce, especially store bought, has a big lack of flavor and is more about it's crunchy texture, so it seems strange to include in a recipe that wilts it during cooking loosing that crunch. Meanwhile spinach flavor thrives on being cooked.

Egg Recipes in Written Form (thanks to ChatGPT reading the transcript): (A) EGG SALAD 4 hard-boiled eggs Red onion, diced Bacon bits Paprika Sambal or Sriracha Mayo Salt & Black pepper Instructions: Hard boil four eggs by placing them in a pot of boiling water for 11 minutes. Once the eggs have cooled down in an ice bath, crack the shell a little bit on each egg and then throw them back in the ice bath for at least 10 minutes. The water seeping under the eggshell creates a little bit of a pocket, making the shells easier to remove. Dice the red onion finely. Fry the bacon until crispy and cut it into tiny pieces. Mix the hard-boiled eggs, red onion, bacon bits, paprika, sambal or sriracha, salt, black pepper, and mayo in a bowl. Mash everything together with a masher. Toast the bread in a pan with bacon grease rendered fat. Serve the egg salad on top of the toast. -- (B) SOY SAUCE CURED Separate egg yolks from egg whites, cover them with soy sauce and mirin in a ratio of about 85:15, and place a paper towel over them. Then, let them marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or longer, depending on your preferred flavor and texture. The egg yolks will evolve and become firmer the longer they are marinated. They can be eaten on top of rice, noodles, toast, or used as a condiment. -- (C) STEAMED EGG - 3 large eggs (about 153 grams) - 300 grams of chicken stock - A pinch of salt - 1 tsp sesame oil - 1 tsp soy sauce - Everything seasoning (optional) Equipment: - A scale - A whisk or chopsticks - A steamer - A rubber lid or cling wrap Instructions: 1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are completely combined. 2. Add the chicken stock and salt to the eggs, and whisk until everything is well mixed. 3. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a heatproof container, and skim any foam 4. Cover with a lid 5. Bring water to a boil in the steamer, then reduce the heat to medium; steam for 8 minutes. 6. After 8 minutes, turn off the heat, but leave the container in the steamer with the lid on for an additional 5 minutes. 7. After 5 minutes, remove the container from the steamer, and drizzle sesame oil and soy sauce on top. Sprinkle with everything seasoning, if desired.

So much faster and less messy! I made a short about it here - kzbin.infopybeC5ecozE

Soy cured egg thing over rice is awesome.. tried it out today along with some stir fry veggies and it was so worth the time and effort

[@rickmurillo6857]

I also have chickens and I'm definitely going to be using these. Thanks for doing the research/finding these.

[@Pistolsatsean]

Why not try using the avocado to make the egg salad instead of mayo?

[@oknovine]

i think it's about the smooth texture mayo provides

[@Pistolsatsean]

@@oknovine seems worth trying to me

[@renegadetwinkie3832]

I always add a capful of tamari to my egg whites and it makes them incredible. Such a difference!!!

[@mikeob6325]

this guy is brillant with his research...love it

[@RoopasKitchenHub]

Those are some great recipes thank you for sharing them 👍

[@PunkR0ckz09]

Could the reason for the avocado base on the egg salad sandwich be to equilibrate the less-healthy side of the dish? (a.k.a mayo and bacon) Personally, I'd rather remove the mayo entirely and eat it with the avocado base

[@JonO387]

The most unhealthy part is the bread. I would also delete the mayo but the bread is by far the worst part.

[@PunkR0ckz09]

@@JonO387 Of course, but considering it is a sandwich, the bread is kinda necessary. I didn't mention it because homemade bread, like he used in the recipe, is not as bad to processed industrial ones, depending on the flour used obviously.

​@@JonO387 please, healthy is a characteristics of a human, not food (plus dose makes the poison, so, literally, water can kill you and ☠️ labled chemical be safe is small enough amount) so let's stop vilifying whole categories of food (especially staple ones, with so wide range of variations out there, etc). It's not only nonsensical but it can be a harmful narrative (depending how you explain why it's not widely considered as unhealthy)

[@aleksandra...]

​@@PunkR0ckz09 yeah, I was thinking something similar - maybe it's just to add more calories to a smaller amount of carbs, and/or have altogether less amount of food per (satiating) meal. Also, I would experiment with layers' thickness there, to see if much less salad (to bring more of the avocado taste) would also be interesting, or not...

[@julestrek]

I'm definitely doing this asap!

[@NineteenEightyFive]

definitely do more of these! fun video

[@phungktk533]

Nice that you discovered the steamed egg dish. It is definitely our go to week night meal for something quick, savory and full of flavor, best part the kiddos LOVE IT! WIN!

[@cindycam9651]

I had amazing steamed egg deliciousness while travelling in China many years ago. Thank you for sharing the technique…I was always curious how they made them:)

[@adelheidsnel5171]

I actually made the soy cured egg yolks!!! Absolutely delicious on my noodle dish 😋 thank you so much you’ve got yourself a new subscriber from the Netherlands

[@lifeofash425]

There are soooo many versions of steamed eggs. There's the chinese silky smooth steamed eggs. My family also added minced pork. Same method but the pork would sink to the bottom, creating 2 layers of pork and egg. There's also the korean version, gyeran jjim, which is fluffy raised steamed egg. There's also the japanese version, chawanmushi. I hope you try them out!

[@Antoger13]

Great video, I will definetly use some of this technic on my kitchen.

If you're going to be a large creator who watches and reacts to other people's content (especially smaller creators), THIS is the way you do it. Clearly crediting the original creators, insightful and additive commentary, and very transformative overall. This is a great video.

[@GabeLagmay]

Great video , my reactions to the soy marinated yolk matched yours and same with the lettuce roll on but I died laughing watching that thing go down hill , good stuff , love this channel

[@DurrrrrrtyKurty]

I just grew a bunch of micro greens and I think that would suit the egg salad and toast pretty well. Another bit of freshness with the onion. Or maybe something pickled/fermented.

[@AdrianClement]

I tried the lettuce egg wrap with everything bagel season and green onion mixed in the egg white/lettuce portion and for the brown sauce, soy sauce and mirin. Delish! came out wonderful. I used butter on low heat with a lid.

[@non9886]

amazing video! thanks for inspiration!

[@sw___]

Great ideas! I’m going to try them all 👍

[@butterjujunut]

My husband does the salted cured egg yolks in muffin tins and that seems to lessen the amount of salt used and they are incredible!!! Shaved on avocado toast is hiiighly recommended

[@BrokenSoul79x]

I will for sure be trying the soy cured egg yolks and the steamed eggs. Great video! keep 'em coming

[@anna9072]

Yeah, I predicted when I first saw the avocado toast recipe that the avocado flavor would get totally lost in the egg mixture. Egg is a surprisingly strong flavor, it will overwhelm most things you put it with. I tried doing a combo tuna and egg salad, you couldn’t even taste the tuna when it was mixed up. So a mild flavor like the avocado wouldn’t stand a chance.

[@HmmmYeahRiiiiiight]

I didn't know about tempering the boiling eggs and got so frustrated with them cracking - THANK YOU!!! :)

[@nichimuchimu]

My best go-to with egg salad is top it on warm rice + kimchi. It’s simple and one of my comfort food ❤

[@ivyclark70]

Here's another egg recipe for you which is super yummy. I made prawn egg foo young recently, basically an omelette with prawns, some people add minced pork too. Traditional Cantonese recipes call for corn starch slurry to keep the eggs silky smooth while cooking in the wok.
