Silky, restaurant-style egg strips steamed right on your mat. Perfect for fried rice, poke bowls, or simply on toast.
These silky egg strips are made in the Thermomix in about 20 minutes from just four eggs, and the recipe makes one sheet ready to roll and slice into ribbons.
How easy was that! These silky egg strips are perfect for your fried rice, a poke bowl, or simply on toast for breaky. They steam into a smooth, even sheet that you can roll and slice into ribbons, no frying, no flipping, no sticking. Once you've made them this way, you'll never go back to wrestling an omelette in a pan.
The hero here is our Silicone Steaming Mat for Varoma. It holds the whisked egg in a neat layer while the steam circulates, so it cooks gently and evenly into a perfect sheet, with nothing touching the blades. Available exclusively from us, and once you've got one you'll wonder how you ever steamed without it.

Cooking on the larger TM7 mat? You have room for a bigger sheet: use 6 eggs (the amber amount) and steam until just set. The method stays the same.

Method
Place the eggs in TC bowl, whisk 10 sec / speed 4. Position the Silicone Steaming Mat on the upper Varoma steaming tray and pour the egg mixture onto it.
Fill TC bowl with 500ml water. Place the lid on and top with the Varoma steaming tray (including the Mat). Steam 14 min / steaming temperature / speed 3.
To serve
Lift the set egg sheet off the mat, roll it up and slice into thin strips. I love piling these on top of fried rice, but they're just as good in a poke bowl or on hot buttered toast. Who needs takeaway?
