Notes

Be sure to strain and remove foams or bubbles on the surface of egg mixture before steaming. Otherwise, there will "holes" on the surface of the pudding.
Use medium high heat to keep enough steam inside the wok when steaming.
The ratio of egg and milk (and/or water) has to be right. Otherwise the steamed egg pudding will turn out to be too hard or too soft.
The trick to making the pudding with smooth texture is to cover the steaming bowl tightly with foil/cling wrap and then steam. Condensed water vapour on the steamer lid will drip down into the bowl. If the bowl is not covered, the water will make the surface of egg custard uneven.
Steaming time is about 8 minutes for 1 egg. Add additional 2 more minutes for each additional egg. Do not steam too long or the eggs will be overcooked and tend to be tough.

Hi, thanks for the recipe.

Wanted to ask what is the weight of A sized eggs- we don’t use that size grading here.

Thanks!

Dun dan was always such a treat when eating out – didn’t realize it was so easy to make! Thank you for the easy to follow and delicious recipe. I didn’t have rock sugar, so I subbed with white granulated sugar (same weight amount) and it was perfect.

Hi Angie,

If the texture is rough and the heat is using medium heat high, what should I need to do?

Reply
Angie Liew November 2, 2020 - 10:45 am

Can’t revert. The clue is to use low heat and if possible cover with cling wrap when steaming. Thanks

if I don’t have rock sugar, what is the measurement for white sugar substitute?

Reply

Usually for each rock sugar you can substitute with 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar. Enjoy!
