Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using unchopped shrimp paste can result in a gritty texture when chewing, so always finely mince it with a knife for a clean, refreshing broth.
  • Adding about half a tablespoon of glutinous rice flour to the egg mixture ensures the custard stays fluffy and doesn’t collapse easily, giving a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • To prevent the egg from burning directly on the clay pot bottom, always pour a small amount of water into the pot first and bring it to a boil before adding the egg mixture.
  • After cooking over the lowest heat for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let the dish rest for exactly 3 minutes to allow the center to become evenly moist and tender.

Recommended for

  • Those who frequently burn the bottom of their egg custard and need reliable temperature control tips.
  • People looking for a gentle, easily digestible breakfast substitute or children’s side dish with a mild, smooth taste.
  • Home cooks wanting to create a unique, nutritious egg dish using cabbage.
