Ingredients
- 1 Fillings of your choice
- 3 Eggs
- 550 ml Boiled chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp Soy sauce
- 3 Eggs
- 500 ml Water
- 1 tsp Dashi stock granules
- 1/2 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2/3 to 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Prepare your favorite steamed egg custard ingredients.
- My family usually uses pea sprouts and lots of other simple ingredients such as potherb mustard.
- It's convenient and easy to use the broth from boiling chicken in Chinese dashi stockor from boiling chicken meatballs..
- It's already salty so you don't need to add any salt, but add 1 teaspoon salt if you are using a sodium free stock.
- Add the amount of dashi stock listed above, and turn on the heat.
- Evaporate the alcohol content and let cool before using.
- Use 3 eggs.
- Mix thoroughly as if cutting the egg whites.
- The point is to not beat the eggs!
- Combine with the cooled dashi.
- My family likes to use 180 ml stock per large egg.
- Please feel free to test it out and find what works for you.
- I made it with pea sports this time.
- I cut them short, and filled up a pot with them.
- Pour the egg and stock mixture into the pot.
- You don't really have to worry about straining when you are using lots of ingredients.
- Turn the heat on high.
- Cover with a lid once it begins to gently boil around the edges and turn white, and turn down to low.
- Tilt the lid a bit and steam to keep holes from forming.
- It's done once it swells a little around the center.
- The egg has solidified if it doesn't cloud up when you touch it with a cooking chopstick.
- Serve into individual portions and enjoy.
- You can enjoy a light chawanmushi dish if you make it directly in the pot.
