While eggs and fava beans are both beloved and frequently used ingredients in cooking, not everyone knows that when combined, you get a dish called steamed fava beans with eggs that is “double delicious.” Not only is this dish nutritious and tasty, but it also helps women enhance collagen, maintaining consistently smooth and youthful-looking skin.

1. Ingredients for steamed fava beans with eggs:

– Chicken eggs: 3 eggs

– Fava beans: 3 beans

– Seasonings: Salt, soy sauce

2. How to make steamed fava beans with eggs:

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

– Take a large bowl and slowly crack the eggs into it, then beat them thoroughly. Add an appropriate amount of filtered water, usually double the amount of eggs, and continue to beat with cooking utensils such as spoons or chopsticks until well-mixed.

– After buying the fava beans, wash them thoroughly. Then, use a knife to remove the head and tail of the beans and slice them into small, bite-sized pieces. It’s best not to slice the fava beans too thick, as they may not float on top of the egg surface when steamed. However, they should not be sliced too thinly either, to prevent them from sinking down to the bottom.

Step 2: Filter the eggs

– Add a teaspoon of salt to the bowl of eggs and stir once again. To remove the bubbles on the egg surface, you can use a sieve to filter once or use a spoon to skim off the foam. Thanks to this step, the steamed eggs will be smooth and without spongy texture.

– Then, slowly sprinkle the sliced fava beans onto the prepared egg mixture.

Step 3: Steam the eggs with fava beans

– Place the steaming pot on the stove and add enough water.

– Next, place the bowl containing the egg-fava bean mixture into the steaming tray and cover it with a plate or food-grade plastic wrap. This prevents steam from dripping onto the egg surface during steaming.

– Steam for about 10 minutes over high heat when the water in the pot begins to boil.

Once the steamed fava beans with eggs are cooked, they will have an incredibly eye-catching color, with the golden hue from the eggs combined with the fresh green of the fava beans. When eating, you can feel the smoothness of the steamed eggs and the refreshing taste of the fava beans. You can enjoy steamed fava beans with eggs as a nutritious appetizer or serve it with white rice.

3. Tips for making steamed fava beans with eggs:

– When buying fava beans, choose beans with thin, shiny green skin and a slightly rough touch. Avoid buying beans with bruises or brown lines along the body. Additionally, select fava beans of moderate size, neither too long nor too large, as they tend to be old fava beans.

– Depending on your preferences, you can sprinkle a little soy sauce on the surface of the steamed eggs or dip the steamed fava beans with eggs in common seasonings.
