Description
This steamed egg with baby shrimp and mushroom is an upgrade to the basic Chinese steamed egg recipe. I added a few more ingredients (see below) to achieve a stronger taste and better nutrition.
Chinese steamed egg (水蒸蛋) is a popular dish among Chinese families. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and is great for warming you up on a winter day. When asked to describe this dish, I like to use “Savory Egg Custard” to help give people an idea.
The ingredients I used in addition to egg and water are carrots, dried baby shrimps and dried shiitake mushrooms (and scallion for garnish).
If you have never heard of dried baby shrimps, don’t worry. Let me tell you a little bit about this wonderful ingredient.
Dried baby shrimps are baby shrimps that have been sun-dried. They are used frequently in Chinese cuisine to add a unique savory taste to the dish. They are rich in calcium and often considered a healthy ingredient in China.
Making this dish is incredibly easy. All you need to do is mixing the eggs with water, add the other ingredients and steam cook for a few minutes.
This healthy and nutritious dish serves as a great appetizer or side dish.

- 2 eggs, beaten
