Chinese Egg Pudding - dessert

RECIPE AND PHOTO BY: Taste Hong Kong
This look so good. I don't have "organic" milk so I'm not sure if it will turn out the same.

INGREDIENTS:
250ml organic fresh milk
30g sugar (THK used raw rock sugar; crush it into smaller pieces if required)
2 organic eggs
yields 2 servings (about 2/3 measuring cup each)

DIRECTIONS:
Heat milk in pan over moderate heat and dissolve sugar in it (or use bran-marie method). Let cool.

Beat eggs, mix in sweetened cooled milk. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove foams.

Set up rack securely over water for steaming (suggest that you read this method and tip if you are new to steaming eggs). You may also use a steamer than a rack.

Cover, bring water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, gently pour egg mixture into each bowl or cup to avoid creating any foams or bubbles. Cover each bowl or cup tightly with foil.

On low heat
Steam for about 15 minutes.

On medium heat
Steam for about 3 minutes, turn off heat keeping the lid on, and wait for another 15 minutes.

If you are new to steaming eggs or you want to experiment whether your heat source perform more or less the way as here, consider halving this recipe and see how it turns out. Besides, you may also adjust the amount of milk and sugar to your desired consistency and liking.

Uncover, and check if the eggs are coagulated by gently shaking the bowl.

You may choose to cool down the pudding and chill it in fridge. Frankly, I often bias on serving it hot.
