This is a simple Japanese Chawanmushi and I used the main ingredient(tempura sauce) in this recipe.
Ingredients( Tempura Sauce )
- 6 dried mushrooms( soaked ), 1 carrot ( cut into pieces )
- 1 portion Chinese coriander root
- 200ml Japanese soy sauce
- 150ml mirin
- 250ml water, 1 tsp mushroom seasoning ( I use chicken powder )
Method
- Combine above ingredients together in a pot. Cover over high heat till it boils. Turn to low heat, simmer to 15 minutes.
- Cool solution, strain before use.
Ingredients( Egg Custard )
- 4 slices leg ham, cut into rectangles
- some seaweeds, cut into rectangles
- 5 eggs
- 50 ml tempura sauce ( refer to ingredients for Tempura Sauce )
- 200 ml water
- 4 teacups
Method
- Combine eggs, tempura sauce and water. Beat lightly and strain, set aside.
- Pour in no.(1) into the teacups. Place ham pieces on the top of each egg mixture. Steam over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. During the steaming period, unflip wok’s cover a couple of times to release hot air. The texture will be very smooth then. Add in the seaweed next to the ham pieces. Serve hot. Voila!
