During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. My husband was very supportive to keep my blood sugars under control. He was very careful to shop for healthy groceries. He has always been a healthy food conscious shopper anyways but he was super conscious about it during my pregnancy. During my first visit at the diabetes clinic at the Women's Hospital, I started chatting with another expectant mommy in the waiting room. We exchanged contacts because we seemed to enjoy chatting. We met up once after our babies were born and gave each other baby gifts. We also exchanged diapers and a baby outfit. During our next meet up, I am getting us bubble tea to celebrate that we have no diabetes now! I am grateful to make a new friend in such an unexpected environment; the diabetes clinic.
Today, after my new friend and her 5 month old baby went home, I took advantage of my pot that has a steamer on top. I steamed broccoli on top and then steamed a common Cantonese dish that has salted duck egg, chicken eggs, marinated minced pork with green onions, on the bottom steamer. I put the timer on for five minutes. Once it boils, I loosen the lid so steam is released. Then, I continue to steam with the loose lid. That is the trick to get the egg smooth and soft. I will show the results in a bit.
