Steamed Eggs With Coriander Food

SOFT-COOKED EGGS WITH CORIANDER SALT

Steps:

• Toast coriander seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt and pepper, and finely grind together.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently place eggs in water, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from water, and place, wide side down, in 6 egg cups or ramekins. Serve with coriander salt.

HARD-STEAMED EGGS

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a pot and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to just below a boil. Add eggs to steamer insert and steam for 15 minutes.
• Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle. Make a small crack on the large end of each egg and place eggs back into the ice water for about 20 minutes. Peel.

THAI STEAMED EGGS

Steps:

• You will need a steamer that your bowls will fit inside. Bring water to a boil in the bottom your steamer.
• Lightly grease your heat proof bowls. Beat eggs thoroughly. Add the broth, tomatoes, pepper and soy sauce and stir to combine.
• Place the bowl onto the rack in your pot and cover. Steam for 15 minutes until the eggs are firm.
• Sprinkle the eggs with the minced onion and coriander, and serve with rice.

STEAMED EGGS WITH CORIANDER

Steps:

• Boil the water 5 minutes and allow it to cool until lukewarm. (This is to drive out the dissolved air, preventing the formation of bubbles in the finished custard.)
• Beat eggs gently until just mixed. Combine beaten eggs with the water. Add Sherry, salt, pepper, sesame oil and sugar. Stir to mix well, but do not beat.
• Strain this mixture into a flat-bottomed, 2-quart baking dish (or into a deeper, narrower dish that will fit your steamer). Add coriander leaves and scallions and stir to distribute them throughout the liquid. Cover and steam 10 to 20 minutes, or until custard is set in the center. (A deeper dish will require the longer steaming.)
• Remove the dish from the steamer and uncover. Pour soy sauce on top of the custard, tilt the dish to distribute the sauce evenly and serve with white rice.

FRIED EGGS WITH CORIANDER, CUMIN AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pour enough olive oil in to a heavy frying pan to cover the base. Place over a moderate heat and then carefully break the eggs into it. Fry as usual, spooning hot oil over the eggs to help them set.
• When they are almost half-cooked, add the chilli, cumin and garlic to the pan and continue cooking until the white is set.
• Lift the eggs out on to the bread, together with the bits of chilli and garlic, and then spoon over a little of the oil. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar, season with salt and scatter over lots of chopped coriander. Eat immediately.

STEAMED EGGS

Steps:

• Place oil or butter in skillet, and heat. Add eggs, and cook til whites are done the way you wish.
• Add water, and cover with a lid. Do not peak or you will loose your steam. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, for medium done eggs.
• Remove to a plate, and add salt, pepper, and cheese if desired.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CORIANDER AND GINGER (EKURI PARSRI)

Steps:

• Break eggs into a deep bowl and mix them lightly with a whisk or fork. Add the milk, salt and black pepper, stir until all of the ingredients are well combined. Do not overbeat or allow the egg-and-milk mixture to foam or become frothy.
• In a 10 inch skillet, heat the ghee over moderate heat until a drop of water flicked into it splutters instantly. Add the ginger and fry for 10 seconds, then add the onions and fry about 1 minute, until they are soft but not brown.
• Pour in the beaten egg mixture and sprinkle the top with the fresh chili. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible point and, stirring constantly with the flat of a table fork or a rubber spatula, cook the eggs until they begin to form soft, creamy curds. Immediately spread the eggs on a heated serving plate, sprinkle the top with cumin and serve.
• Ekuri is traditionally garnished with slices or wedges of fresh tomato and may be further embellished with sprigs or leaves of coriander. It is usually accompanied by plain parathas.
