Vibrant and Cute 2-Color Nishiki Tamago
- 8 Eggs
- 8 tbsp Sugar (white castor sugar)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Katakuriko
- Make boiled eggs.
- The color will turn bad if they are over-boiled, but this won't turn out pretty and fluffy if soft boiled either, so be careful.
- Separate the egg yolks and egg whites.
- (It's okay if they fall apart or if you work with them while they are warm.)
- Strain both the egg whites and the yolks through a strainer.
- After straining, add half of the katakuriko and salt to each container, and gently stir.
- Cover a small bowl in plastic wrap, add in the egg yolk and egg white, wrap it up, secure it with a rubber band or string, and steam in a steamer for about 5 minutes.
- Adding in a sweet black bean and then steaming provides for a nice accent.
- It falls apart easily when it is warm, so remove the plastic wrap after it has cooled, and it is done.
- Have fun making variations on this.
- Stacking step 7 on top of one another gives it a different appearance.
