I have always wanted to make Chawan Mushi. I heard that it is very easy to make. Finally got the chance to try it last week. Yummy! With this recipe, you can make it really like the ones you eat in shop!! The only difference is what you want to add in your chawan mushi.
INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
1 piece filament crabstick
2 prawns
2 pcs chicken fillet
3 shiitake mushrooms
40cc shiro dashi
400cc water
METHOD
1. Finely cut crabstick, chicken, prawn and shiitake mushroom into small pieces.
2. Stir egg slightly and strain with a fine muslin cloth.
3. Add shiro dashi, water, ingredients and egg mixture into chawan mushi cup.
4. Steam for about 10 min with cups covered. Serve immediately.
The key to success is in point 2. You must strain with the muslin cloth. I didn’t know it is so hard to squeeze the egg mixture out of the cloth. It shows how ‘unfine’ the egg is, before it is strained!
Really, really, really, yummy… BTW, even if you want to replace the chicken, prawn and crabstick with veggies, this is still not-vegetarian, because Shiro Dashi is made of fish. Vegetarian to note this.
