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.

How to Make Draw (Ogbono) Soup

Hello People, Ogbono Soup is commonly referred to as Draw Soup, because of its slimy consistency. This soup is made from Ground Ogbono (Wild African Bush Mango) seeds, very common in Naija Markets and African Shops Abroad. Depending on your preference, you could add Ugu (Fluted pumpkin) leaves, Uziza leaves, Okro or even cook without leaves. Some people even add Egusi(melon seeds) to theirs (though i haven't tried this). For me, I prefer using Uziza leaves cos of the aroma and flavor it gives to soups, but for this recipe i used Ugu leaves. I was thought how to make this Soup by my neighbor during my Uni days, Shout Out to Kome, I'm sure she may not even remember this. Kome, hope i make you proud! A Plate of Ogbono Soup Ingredients: - 1 Cup of Ogbono seeds - A handful of Ugu leaves (Shredded) - 3 Cooking spoons of palmoil - 1kg of Beef - 150g of Stock fish - A handful of dry prawns (oporo) (Optional) - A cooking spoon of Crayfish (Grinded) -3 table spoons of g...

How to make White (Nsala) Soup

  Hello People,   Thanks to all you beautiful people who read my posts, keep reading and be sure to get new twists to your regular dishes. White soup is called Nsala Soup by the Ibos and Afia Efere by the Efiks. It is one of the simplest Naija soups in terms of time taken in preparation and ingredients used. It also doesn't contain palm oil, hence the name. It is basically made with the stock gotten from boiling your animal protein like beef, chicken etc. I got to know about this soup during my Uni days. There was this Restaurant that students usually patronized mostly for their White Soup, theirs was the best then. I remember asking one of the waiters for thé recipe, he was kind enough to give me but I never tried it till recently.  Nsala  soup is usually made with uziza leaves, but for this recipe, I used scent leaves I forgot to buy at the market (can't watch), but since I had scent leaves at home, I used it, still came out well. ...
