Yummy egg moi moi |
If you are like me and you do not like hardboiled eggs (I only eat the egg whites lol) and you do not like fried egg (it gives me heart burn), then you will love Egg Moi Moi – I love this name!
Egg Moi Moi is a cross between boiled egg and fried egg. It is cooked but you get the chance to beat the egg to combine the egg yolk and
the albumen before boiling it. It’s just like Poached Eggs without the
runny egg yolk! Thanks to Omalicha, I can now enjoy eggs without feeling
sick!
Ingredients
I prepared mine with:
- 2 Eggs
- ½ a tomato
- A pinch of salt (or to your taste)
Note: Instead of tomatoes, you can add any other vegetable that you like: shredded carrots, green pepper, green peas etc.
Tool
- Bowls for cooking the Egg Moi Moi
You can also use aluminium foil bags or transparent nylon bags like Omalicha stated in her recipe.
Preparation
1. Set some water to boil in a big enough pot.
2. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat till combined.
3. Add salt and stir.
4. Add the tomato (diced). Stir.
5. Rub the insides of the bowls with vegetable oil so that the Egg Moi Moi comes out easily when done.
6. Pour the eggs into the bowls.
7. Place
the bowls in the boiling water just like you would when cooking
Nigerian Moi Moi with bowls. You can pad the pot so that the contents
are cooked by indirect heat.
The level of water should be such that water does not get into the bowls.
8. Cover
the pot and cook on low to medium heat for 10-12 minutes, less time if
using aluminium foil bags or transparent nylon bags. If you cook them on
high heat, the eggs will foam so much and become dark in colour. They are also dark when you cook them for too long even if you used low heat so keep an eye on it.
9. It’s done when the mixture solidifies.
As stated above, me and eggs no dey pally but I love Egg Moi Moi! Beware; one can finish a crate of eggs in one sitting when they are prepared this way. :D
Thanks Omalicha!
