Children's breakfasts are the hardest to make, but it's a headache to ensure they're nutritious and healthy. Breakfast's nutrition is the most important thing, and vitamins and protein can't be lacking, especially now when children are growing. Green beans are abundant these days, so I bought 2 pounds – my child loves them, and their vibrant green color is irresistible. Green beans are rich in vitamin B, contain plenty of protein, folic acid, dietary fiber, and essential amino acids, and they also have a brain-boosting effect.

Today, I'd like to share a recipe for Emerald Shrimp Egg Custard, which is my child's favorite dish. The recipe is incredibly simple. If your child doesn't like boiled eggs, this shrimp custard is a great alternative. It's nutritious, with smooth and delicate egg custard – you'll want to eat it by the spoonful. The main ingredients are eggs, fresh shrimp, and green beans. To achieve a smooth and delicate egg custard, you must always let the egg mixture cool before steaming. The shrimp, when added to the egg mixture, becomes even more flavorful. Garnishing with vibrant green beans adds a beautiful visual appeal to the dish.

Here's the detailed recipe. If you enjoy it, don't hesitate to try it at home with your children! I steamed it for 10 minutes, and it came out a little old. If you steam it for about 8 minutes, it's ready.

Emerald Shrimp Egg Custard

Main Ingredients:3 Eggs, 200ml Cold Water, Salt to taste, A few drops of White Vinegar, 8 Large Shrimp, A Handful of Green Beans, 1 Spoon of Fish Sauce.

Detailed Instructions:

First, prepare 3 room-temperature eggs and whisk them into a deep bowl, adding a few drops of white vinegar to reduce the egg's fishy smell. You can also add a few drops of cooking wine, then whisk until the egg mixture is smooth and uniform.

After mixing the egg mixture, add 200ml of cold water and continue whisking. Wait for the mixture to form small bubbles, then scoop out the bubbles with a spoon. For an even finer and more delicate custard, you can filter the egg mixture through a filter cloth, adding a little salt.

Rinse the shrimp thoroughly, drain off excess water, and marinate them in a little cooking wine for a short time, then add them to the egg mixture.

Place a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl, poking several holes with a toothpick. Alternatively, place a larger bowl on top to prevent steam from dripping in, and steam it in the steamer for 8 minutes.

Rinse the green beans and blanch them in boiling water with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes – adding salt will make the color of the green beans even more vibrant. Drain the green beans thoroughly.

The shrimp and egg custard are ready. Scatter the blanched green beans randomly on top, and adjust the sauce. In a small bowl, add 1 spoon of fish sauce, 3 spoons of water, and stir until smooth. Add a few drops of sesame oil and drizzle it over the shrimp and egg custard, and we can start eating.

Use a small knife to cut a grid pattern, making it easier to eat. Pour the sauce over the egg custard, which enhances its flavor and eliminates the fishy taste of the egg. Serve it to your children, and they'll eagerly grab a spoonful.
