Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 250ml Fresh Milk
• 3count Egg Whites
• 20g Rock Sugar
• 50g Cooked Lotus Seeds

Steps

1. Gently whisk egg whites until just broken, then stir in milk and rock sugar.
2. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl to ensure a smooth texture. Repeat straining if necessary.
3. Gently place the cooked lotus seeds into the strained milk mixture.
4. Cover the bowl with cling film or a plate to prevent water from dripping in.
5. Place the bowl into a preheated steamer with boiling water. Steam over medium-low heat until the egg white mixture is just set but still wobbly in the center, about 12-15 minutes.
6. Remove from the steamer and serve warm or chilled.
