Fluffy Steamed Egg & White Fish Custard

Whisking an egg with vegetable broth and a minute touch of flaked cod creates a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth custard when steamed. It provides highly bioavailable animal protein with almost no distinct chewing boundary.

Gentle for a sore mouth, nausea.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (cooled)
• 1/2 oz cooked cod fillet, flaked extra-fine

How to make it

1. Whisk the egg and cooled vegetable broth together thoroughly, then strain through a fine sieve into a ramekin.
2. Stir the finely flaked cod into the egg mixture and cover the ramekin tightly with foil.
3. Steam over boiling water for 10 minutes until set like a soft gelatin. Let cool completely.
