FAQS

  1. How do I steam eggs perfectly for a fluffy texture?

    To achieve perfectly steamed eggs, make sure to whisk the eggs lightly before steaming. Use a gentle simmer and steam for about 12-15 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean. This method ensures a fluffy and tender texture.

  2. Can I make steamed eggs dairy-free or vegan?

    Yes, you can make a dairy-free version of steamed eggs by using plant-based egg substitutes like silken tofu or chickpea flour mixed with water. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and follow the same steaming process for a delicious vegan alternative.

  3. What are some good vegetable pairings for steamed eggs?

    Steamed eggs pair well with a variety of vegetables. Consider serving them with sautéed spinach, roasted bell peppers, or steamed broccoli. You can also add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra flavor boost.

  4. How should I store leftover steamed eggs?

    If you have leftover steamed eggs, allow them to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

  5. What are some seasoning substitutions for steamed eggs?

    You can customize the seasoning for your steamed eggs based on your preference. Instead of chat masala, try using smoked paprika or garlic powder for a different flavor. Fresh herbs like dill or chives can also enhance the taste without overpowering the dish.
