How to make Steamed Eggs

 
Hello People,
 
It's been a while. Sorry I have been MIA. I must say blogging ain't beans man. For me that blogs about food recipes, I have to take pics at every stage of my cooking and this can be very tiring, but for you my dear readers, I will do my best.
At this point, I'd like to shout out to bloggers like Linda Ikeji and co who post daily. I'm new to the blogosphere so with time I will "catch up" *winks

A plate of steamed egg
To the business of the day.
If you are tired of eating boiled eggs, and you don't wan go close to fried eggs, then this post will put a smile on your face cos you will have the opportunity to eat eggs.
Last Christmas, I made this for the family, and everyone loved it. When I was preparing it, my sis was like "which one is steamed egg again", I winked and kept sealed lips, then she added, "will one egg be sufficient for each person?" I'm like wait and see. When I was done, she kept "wowing" lol.
Steamed eggs fall between boiled and fried eggs. I call them steamed eggs cos they are cooked via steaming just like moimoi (bean pudding).
Eggs are a rich source of protein. Egg whites contain about half the protein while the rest are contained in the yolk. Egg whites are rich in riboflavin and selenium which are useful in energy production and elimination of toxins. The yolk contains some vitamins such as A, B12, D, E, K, minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. Egg yolk is wonderful for brain development, it improves your memory and cognitive skills.
 
Ingredients:
-1 Egg
- Pepper
- Onion
- Seasoning (optional)
- Salt to taste
 
Direction:
1. In a bowl, break the egg, add chopped pepper and onions, seasoning & salt, then whisk together.
2. Get a small transparent bowl (with a lid), grease it very lightly with vegetable oil or butter. Pour in the egg mix (from 1 above) into this bowl.
3. Pour a cup of water into a pot, bring to boil. Place the bowl containing the egg in the pot and cover the pot. Allow to cook for 6-8minutes.
 Turn off heat, your steamed egg is ready to be" munched". You can eat it alone or with noodles or bread.
 
It's perfect for breakfast, kids will love it.
 
Regards,
 
Nitie

    Awwww. Sorry about that. Try using a plastic bowl or even a ceramic bowl subsequently. Ensure you close the the bowl with a lid and also close the pot. Also ensure u have water in the pot, though not much but enough to generate steam to cook the egg. This dish cooks for 6-8minutes, hope u didn't cook it for a longer time. Happy Luck next time.

Babies: How to Make Potato and Carrot Purée

Hello People, Today's recipe is for the special "bundles" in our lives, I mean babies. Babies are so sweet, lovable, tender, beautiful, cute... *add your own adjective(s). It is recommended at birth, that you exclusively breastfeed your new born for the first six (6) months of life as this is of great benefit to both child and mother, especially to the baby as it protects against illnesses and builds their immune system. Not every mother can go all the way, some supplement breastfeeding with formula (baby milk such as SMA, NAN etc) while others breast feed exclusively for the first six (6) months. Whichever method you choose, at the end of six (6) months you will be faced with "introduction of solid foods" to your baby. At the 6 month mark, some first foods to try are creamy avocados, apple sauce, sweet potato puree, bananas and the like. Many mums (especially new ones) run out of ideas on what to give to their babies so they resort to buying canned baby food...

Edikaikong or Vegetable soup originates from the Efik People of Akwaibom and Cross River States. This soup is made with a generous amount of Vegetables which makes it one of my favorite Nigerian Soups. Ugu leaves (Fluted Pumpkin) are very low in calories and contain no saturated fats or cholesterol.

They are a rich source of Minerals like Iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamins K, C, E and many of the B Vitamins.
