Welcome to the first edition of our Recipe Spotlight series! Today, we are excited to present you a dish that combines comfort with nutrition – Steamed Eggs with Chicken Essence. If you’ve ever wondered what makes chicken essence such a powerhouse ingredient, or if you’re just looking for a delicious, health-boosting recipe, you’re in the right place!
What is Essence of Chicken?
Chicken essence is a concentrated extract made from boiling chicken, and it has been cherished in many cultures for centuries. It is packed with nutrients often lost in traditional cooking methods – almost like a liquid gold that brings a boost to your meals.
In today’s recipe, we will be using Humming’s ‘BEST Essence of Chicken with Abalone’, a classic blend packed with top-quality chicken essence and a tender piece of abalone, offering a refreshing boost of flavour and vitality.
Why is Essence of Chicken So Popular?
- Boosts Immunity and Physical Health: Enriched with immune-boosting cytokines and natural antioxidants, chicken essence strengthens your immune system, enhances physical vitality, and provides a steady source of energy to reduce mental fatigue.
- Supports Cognitive Function and Recovery: High in essential amino acids, chicken essence aids in improving cognitive function, keeping your mind sharp, and promotes muscle recovery and repair after physical exertion.
- Enhances Well-Being and Skin Health: With its natural antioxidants, chicken essence supports overall well-being and longevity, while also nourishing the skin by providing anti-ageing benefits and promoting skin-cell regeneration.
Recipe: Steamed Eggs with Chicken Essence
Now that you know the benefits of chicken essence, let’s use it to whip up a delightful dish that is not only tasty but also supports your health and vitality – silky and flavourful steamed eggs infused with nourishing chicken essence!
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- BEST Essence of Chicken with Abalone
- Water
- Salt (optional)
- Chopped Green Onions for garnish
Steps to Prepare:
- Prepare the Eggs:
- Begin by cracking the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Using a whisk or fork, beat the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Aim for a smooth, uniform mixture without any streaks of egg white or yolk.
- Create a Blend:
- In a separate bowl, combine BEST Essence of Chicken with Abalone and water using a 1:1 ratio. Stir the mixture gently until well blended. This combination will enrich the eggs with the delicious essence of chicken and the subtle taste of abalone.
- Strain the Mixture:
- To achieve a silky texture, it’s essential to strain the egg mixture. Place a fine-mesh sieve or strainer over a clean bowl. Pour the egg mixture through the sieve slowly, allowing any air bubbles and larger particles to be filtered out. This step ensures that the final steamed eggs are smooth and creamy, without any bubbles.
- Steam till Firm:
- Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a gentle boil. Place heatproof bowls or ramekins with the egg mixture into the steamer. Cover with a lid and steam over medium heat for approximately 10-15 minutes. The eggs should become firm but still have a slight jiggle in the centre. To check doneness, gently tap the side of the bowl—if the eggs are set but still a bit wobbly, they are ready.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once the eggs are ready, carefully remove the bowls from the steamer using tongs or a kitchen towel. Allow them to cool slightly before garnishing. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh, flavourful touch. Serve the steamed eggs hot, either on their own or as a side dish. Enjoy the smooth texture and rich taste infused with the essence of chicken!
