Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 can of sweet condensed milk
- Sugar for caramel
Preparation
- Combine milk with water in a balanced ratio to achieve a moderate sweetness.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly while avoiding excessive foaming.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water at a ratio of 3:2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes frothy and acquires a golden-brown color. Once achieved, remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into ramekins.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dissolved milk with the beaten eggs. Pour this mixture into the ramekins through a strainer to eliminate any larger egg particles.
- Steam the ramekins for 10 to 12 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake the ramekins uncovered for approximately 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C).
- Allow the ramekins to cool, then refrigerate. Serve them chilled for the best flavor.
Óc trần lá ngải
Óc trần lá ngải is listed among the most horror foods for foreign visitors in Vietnam.
Grilled beef wrapped in wild betel leaf
Riding along the crowded streets of Saigon in the afternoon, people can often be attracted by a fragrant and spicy smell of seasoned grilled rolls of beef, stemming from moving-stalls blurred in the smoke from charcoal flame. This dish, wrapped up in wild betel leaf, has become a favorite snack of Vietnamese, particularly Saigonese, to serve with beer or wine.
Snakehead Congee
Snakehead fish congee can appear as a normal dish of the commoners, but to those who first taste, that dish served in hotpot style is quite a surprise.
