Recipe Spotlight – Part 1: Delightful Steamed Eggs with Chicken Essence

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!

We hope you’ve enjoyed this recipe – this simple yet nourishing dish is a delightful way to incorporate the health-boosting properties of chicken essence into your diet. If you’re now craving for the rich benefits of chicken essence or are unsure where to start, we’ve got your back!

Celebrate their Graduation with These Top 5 Flowers to Make Your Singaporean Graduate Smile!

Graduation season is coming for Singapore’s university students! Imagine, standing at the entrance of their university auditorium where their graduation ceremony is about to take place, feeling the buzz of energy in the air. Can you feel it? The nervous excitement, the bittersweet relief, the thrill of anticipation as they go up on stage to receive that hard-earned degree.

After many semesters of lectures and late-night cram sessions (and suppers!), graduation is a time for celebration! If you’re thinking of getting a flower bouquet for your friend or customising a special bouquet for your friend, we’re here to share the top 5 flowers for friends and family taking their next step out into this phase of life.

#1 Sunflowers

For a sunshine state of mind. ☀

Imagine standing in a field of tall, yellow sunflowers. As the sun rises, these vibrant blooms all turn towards it, reflecting off warm beams of joyful light.

Sunflowers are without a doubt one of the most popular flowers for graduation. With its bright yellow petals, symbolising cheerfulness and your wishes of a bright future for your friend or family, a graduation bouquet consisting of sunflowers is sure to be heartily received.

Pair them with orange baby breaths, chamomile flowers, pink Eustomas and more to create the perfect bouquet.

#2 Gerbera Daisies

A party in a bouquet.

Gerbera daisies come in a dazzling array of colours are like confetti for your heartfelt congratulations wishes. Each gerbera colour reveals a lovely message:

Yellow: Celebration, cheerfulness

Pink: High esteem, admiration

Red: Love

Gerberas are also a more affordable option as compared to other blooms, which make them a thoughtful gift from those who are running on a tighter budget but still want to give their friends a flower bouquet, bring them out for lunch, and possibly go to a photobooth!

#3 Tulips

A sophisticated touch of elegance in any bouquet.

A symbol of royalty, and of deep, perfect love, tulips are a special, exotic flower! Being seasonal in nature, tulips are a more exclusive choice compared to year-round blooms. Though we commonly think of tulips in their closed state, Singapore’s humidity can make them blossom quickly into full blooms!

Tulips are also known to grow around an inch a day, even after they’ve been freshly cut, which makes it an interesting flower to place in a vase as a table arrangement after it’s been taken out from the bouquet.

#4 Hydrangeas

A symbol of strength and perseverance.

Hydrangeas are known for their extravagant blooms and come in a breathtaking range of colours! Being an exotic flower, it’s perfect for any of our graduate friends and family that hydrangeas are in season from May to July.

Beyond their beauty, hydrangeas hold a special message for graduates. This bloom thrives in Japan’s most rainy season which makes it especially meaningful as you celebrate your friends and loved ones’ achievements and perseverance through the challenges they faced and conquered throughout their academic journey!

#5 Roses

Everyone’s favourite blossom of love!

While roses are traditionally used to express romantic love, they remain a timeless classic even between the best of friends!

Besides red roses, yellow roses express the warmth of a beautiful friendship, and pink roses express your admiration! Paired together with other blooms, roses can make your bouquet feel even more grand and heartfelt.

Celebrate them with a Heartfelt Congrad-ulations!

As you watch your loved ones and friends blossom and take this new step forward, may they be reminded of your care and love for them. Whether you get them a gift, take them out for a meal, snap a dozen (or more!) photos, we hope you make many lasting memories that they’ll treasure a long time to come as they embark on this exciting journey ahead.

To all the graduates of 2024, Humming wishes you a Happy Graduation!
