Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 50g granulated sugar
• 240ml water
• 30ml fresh ginger juice

Steps

1. Extract ginger juice: Grate fresh ginger and squeeze through a muslin cloth or fine sieve to extract juice.
2. Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk eggs lightly. Add granulated sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
3. Combine: Gradually stir in water and ginger juice into the egg mixture.
4. Strain: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl to remove any lumps or air bubbles, ensuring a smooth custard.
5. Steam: Cover the bowl loosely with foil or a plate. Steam over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
6. Serve: Remove from steamer and serve warm.
