Cooking Quest: Steamed Milk

When I tried Yee Shun's steamed milk - it piqued my interest.  I wondered how they were able to make this kind of dish - so silky, soft and flavorful.  The cashier (who I assumed is the owner) was very friendly - I told her that I loved the steamed milk  and that it was very very good - she smiled and said that it's just milk and eggs!  She was so proud of their product and I guess the simplicity of it too!

I got curious and researched.  I found a recipe and tried to replicated it.  I got the basics right on the first try, but then I found the consistency too firm, I wanted it to be more silky so I tweaked the recipe and found the consistency that I liked.  The I realized, I may need to use a scale in weighing the ingredients for it to be more consistent.  I will do that on my next try.

So here is the finished product.


It may not look as nice and taste the same - but in my books, it's good enough!
I want to keep trying to make it.


Here is what my steamer looked like.  I was so excited, that I waited and waited.  Hahaha!!!  I kept on looking at it and opening it!  Hahaha..  



Here is the recipe:

Steamed Milk

1 cup of Whole/Full Cream Milk (I tried Skimmed and it didn't work! Haha..)
2 Tablespoons of White Sugar
1 egg white of 1 egg
Bowls
Cling Wrap

Steamer

Procedure:
1.  Dissolve the sugar in the milk
2.  Heat the milk and bring to a boil
3.  Strain the milk and let it cool
4.  Whisk the eggwhites
5.  Slowly pour the egg whites to the milk mixture
6.  Pour the egg and milk mixture on the bowl (try a shallow bowl first)
7.  Cover the bowl with cling wrap
8.  Put in the steamer for 15 minutes

You can serve this hot - it will be very silky or serve it cold it will be silky but more *firm*

Good luck!!

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
