Seasoning the ingredients first, then placing them in a steamer over boiling water to cook using the steam is called steaming.
Suitable ingredients: Very wide range, mainly meats and seafood
Key Tips
Most of the time, when steaming, you need to bring the steamer to a boil before adding the ingredients, especially for meat, as this ensures a better texture. Additionally, use a larger steamer so the ingredients cook in a relatively spacious environment, allowing for more even heat distribution and a superior final texture.
Example: Steamed Egg Custard with Clams - a silky, savory dish where fresh clams are nestled in a delicate egg custard, steamed until just set.
