Okra Steamed Egg Custard
Okra is now in season and very fresh. The cross-section of okra is beautiful, like little stars. When steaming egg custard for children, slice the okra thinly and arrange it on top for a unique and visually appealing dish. Parents should definitely learn this recipe—varying the way egg custard is prepared will make children enjoy it more, as it's both nutritious and delicious! I used the Panasonic DS2000 combination microwave, steam, and oven to make this dish. Its powerful three-in-one functionality saves space and meets various cooking needs. The sleek black design is timeless and stylish. I used the 'steam' mode, which is simple to operate and produces no smoke. With a traditional steamer, cooking in the kitchen during the hottest days of summer would be sweaty work, but the Panasonic DS2000 generates steam in just 30 seconds and reaches 100°C in 3 minutes. The high-temperature steam locks in freshness and preserves the natural flavors of the food. No need to watch the stove—just press a few buttons to prepare a delicious meal effortlessly. The Panasonic DS2000 combination microwave, steam, and oven featured in this recipe originally costs 3,999 yuan, but the Tmall launch price is only 2,999 yuan. It combines professional microwave, steam, and baking functions at an unbeatable value! Limited-time offers include a free Panasonic breakfast maker and a 6-piece baking set worth 699 yuan!

Ingredients
Steps
Prepare all the ingredients in advance. Today, we'll use the 'steam' function of the Panasonic DS2000.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl, add 3g of salt. The ratio of eggs to water should be 1:1.5. Add water accordingly and whisk evenly. Skim off any foam from the surface.
Place a sieve over the bowl and strain the egg mixture twice.
The strained egg mixture should be very smooth. Let it rest.
Trim the ends of the okra and slice the middle part into thin, even pieces.
Slice as thinly as possible—thicker slices may sink to the bottom.
Gently place the okra slices on the surface of the egg mixture.
Place the bowl on the Panasonic DS2000's baking tray and cover with a small plate.
Remove the water tank, fill it with water, and reinsert it. Press the [Steam] button, turn the knob to select [Steam 2], set the timer for 9 minutes, and press [Start].
The display will show a countdown. Unlike traditional steamers, the Panasonic DS2000 doesn't require preheating—it starts producing steam immediately.
When the timer ends, open the door carefully, keeping a safe distance, and remove the dish using oven mitts.
The egg custard steamed this way is extra tender, and the process is incredibly simple. For added flavor, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce and sesame oil.
