02Steps
  1. Gently whisk egg whites until just broken, then stir in milk and rock sugar.
  2. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl to ensure a smooth texture. Repeat straining if necessary.
  3. Gently place the cooked lotus seeds into the strained milk mixture.
  4. Cover the bowl with cling film or a plate to prevent water from dripping in.
  5. Place the bowl into a preheated steamer with boiling water. Steam over medium-low heat until the egg white mixture is just set but still wobbly in the center, about 12-15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the steamer and serve warm or chilled.
