Ginger milk custard –Welcome to my latest culinary adventure, where I attempt to steam ginger milk custard. Yes, you read that right! It’s not a typical kitchen escapade, but trust me, it’s going to be flavorful and a whole lot of fun! Grab your aprons, folks; let’s dive in!
Steamed Ginger Milk Custard
First things first — let’s take a moment to appreciate the splendor of this delightful dish. Look at this beauty!
Now that we’ve admired its gorgeousness, let’s roll up our sleeves and get down to business. Here’s what you need to make this scrumptious treat:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of ginger, grated
- 3 large eggs
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: whipped cream or fruit to serve on top
Alright, let’s shake things up! Here’s how to bring this delightful dish to life:
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, gently heat the milk with the grated ginger over medium heat. You want to bring it to a cozy warm temperature, not a raging boil.
- While that’s warming, whisk together the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl until smooth. You can pretend you’re whisking away your stresses while you do this!
- Once your milk is warm, remove it from the heat and pour a little bit of it into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously. This is called tempering, and it’s crucial so your eggs don’t scramble. We’re going for creamy, not scrambled!
- After tempering, gradually add the rest of the milk mixture into the eggs, combining thoroughly. Feel free to channel your inner chef as you do this!
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or dish to remove any bits of ginger or egg. This will ensure your custard is smooth and silky.
- Now, pour the creamy goodness into a heatproof dish that fits into your steamer or pot.
- Cover the dish with foil to keep the steam in and place it in your steamer. Steam for about 30 minutes, or until it’s set. It’s like a spa day for your custard!
- Once done, allow it to cool for a few moments. Serve it as is, or top with whipped cream or fresh fruit for an extra zing!
And there you have it! A warm and comforting bowl of ginger milk custard that will make your taste buds dance! Enjoy the fruits of your labor — you deserve it!
