Hi everybody
welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
today I'm going to show you how
to make chawanmushi
chawanmushi is a Japanese steam egg custard dish
chawan means tea cup
or rice bowl in Japanese
and mushi means steaming
it is a very
popular Japanese appetizer
and you can make it at home very easily
it is not only delicious
but also healthy
and you can find lots of treasure
at the bottom of the cup
so let's get started
here is the ingredients overview
note that with the
vegetables in the dish
you can add more or less to your liking
first, start by de-stemming the shiitake mushrooms
and slicing it into small pieces
to fit into your cup
next is the carrots
you will also be slicing them into small slices
with the green onions
you will want to slice them into small strands
then destem the spinach
Kamaboko is a sort of fish cake
which may be difficult to find but it
can be an optional item for your dish
for the chicken breast
be sure to trim out all fat
and then slice into small chunks
to prepare the chicken broth
beat two eggs into a bowl
once beaten
put in one can of chicken broth
then one teaspoon of mirin
and one teaspoon of soy sauce
be sure to mix it well until it's a nice even color
after you mix the liquid base
you can then start putting in all your vegetables
kamaboko and chicken into your cup
you can put more or less of any items that you like
once you're done
you can also pour in the liquid base
and now you're ready to cook your chawanmushi
you can use your wok and steaming rack
to steam your chawanmushi
fill the wok with water
at just about the steaming rack position
then cover and allow the water to boil
once it's boiling
you can then uncover and
put in a plate to hold your chawanmushi cup
finally, add in your cup with its lid as well
be sure to cover
and then the reduce the heat to medium heat
and then allow it to
cook for about 15 minutes
after 15 minutes
check if it's all cooked with a chopstick
once it's ready
use your hot plate tong
to remove chawanmushi cup from the wok
and it's all done
