Steamed egg custard from The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen: Classic Family Recipes for Celebration and Healing by Grace Young

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I didn't have dried shrimp and tried to use brined krill instead, but it turned out too salty. Will have to try bean thread noodles, next time, instead!

    Silky savory custard, very similar to my mom's. She used to add bean thread noodles to hers, I would have done that if I know how to compensate for the absorption of liquid by the noodles. Time to experiment.
