Numerous studies suggest that caramel, being essentially sweet, stimulates the central nervous system, triggering a delightful craving. For middle-aged individuals struggling with weight, incorporating caramel into their daily diet can aid in weight improvement. Additionally, a portion of chilled caramel serves as an excellent coolant on scorching summer days. Explore with PasGo the process of crafting caramel using a rice cooker below!
Method 1:
Ingredients:
- 5 fresh chicken eggs
- 150g condensed milk
- 650ml unsweetened fresh milk
- 150g sugar
- 25ml water
- Rice cooker
How to make caramel using a rice cooker:
- Use a small pot to combine sugar and water, then heat on low flame. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar completely, preventing it from sticking to the bottom. Cook until the sugar turns a rich amber color, then turn off the heat.
- Pour the caramel into heat-resistant cups, gently swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl (using only the yolks) and beat until smooth.
- In another small pot, mix fresh milk, condensed milk, and sugar. Stir well and heat over medium flame until the milk is just about to boil. Remember not to let the mixture boil. Turn off the heat.
- Then, pour the warm milk mixture into the egg bowl and stir thoroughly to blend. Proceed to pour the egg-milk mixture into the cups already containing caramel.
Pro Tip: For a smoother consistency, strain the mixture through a sieve after stirring.
- Finally, use a rice cooker and pour a sufficient amount of water into it. Arrange the dessert cups inside the cooker, cover the top with a cloth, and seal the lid tightly.
- Turn on the cook button and cook for about 20 minutes. When the cooker switches to the warm mode, insert a toothpick into the dessert; if it comes out clean without sticking to the egg-milk mixture, your dessert is ready!
- Once the dessert is cooked, place it in the refrigerator's cool compartment for a while before indulging.
Method 2:
Ingredients:
- 50g white sugar
- ¼ lime
- 100ml sweetened condensed milk
- 300ml unsweetened fresh milk
- 2 fresh chicken eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to make caramel using a rice cooker:
- Turn on the stove, add 50g white sugar and 20ml water to a pot. Caramelize the sugar until it turns brown, then squeeze in lime juice and turn off the heat. Afterward, coat the cake molds with non-stick butter, pour the caramelized sugar into the molds.
- In a bowl, combine 100ml sweetened condensed milk and 300ml unsweetened fresh milk. Mix well, pour into the pot, turn on the heat, stir well by hand, and then turn off the heat.
- Gently whisk 2 fresh chicken eggs with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Take the warm milk and mix it thoroughly with the eggs. Strain the mixture for smoothness.
- Pour water into the rice cooker, filling about 1/4 of the cooker, and press the Cook button. Pour the milk mixture into the cake molds, gently place them into the rice cooker.
- Wait until the water in the cooker boils, then insert the steaming tray, place a thick cloth on top, and put the cake molds in. Cover the rice cooker, and steam the dessert for 5-7 minutes.
Some tips for the perfect caramel:
- Ensure the caramel layer is firm before adding the milk mixture.
- Due to the high heat of the rice cooker, steaming takes only about 5 minutes for the caramel to cook. Avoid steaming for too long as it may cause uneven texture. Check the caramel after 3-5 minutes; if not fully cooked, continue steaming for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- To add a twist to the flavor, you can incorporate green tea powder, coconut essence, or fruit syrup; each brings a unique touch.
