Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut ingredients (honeywort and Japanese fish cake) in small pieces.
- 2
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and weigh them. (It was 115g for 2 eggs this time.)
- 3
Prepare 345g(=115g×3) of hot water. Mix a chicken stock cube with the water. (Since each stock cube brand has different taste, please adjust the amount of a stock.)

☆Tip 1☆ The ratio of egg and soup (chicken stock soup this time) should be "1: 3"!! This is a key to make a beautiful Chawanmushi! Since 2 eggs were 115g this time, we need 115g×3=345g of soup should be mixed together.

☆Tip 2☆ After measuring the amount of soup, please leave it for a while and cool it. If you don't have time, you can put ice cubes in a bowl and carefully put the bowl with soup inside.
- 6
Pour water to a pot or pan(until around 3cm height) and sink a cloth. Boil the water.
☆Tip 3☆ By placing a cloth inside boiled water, it will avoid the cups to tremble and the surface of Chawanmushi will be smoother.
- 7
Put ingredients into a heat resistant cups.
☆Tip 4☆ Choose small cups. If you cook with a large cup or plate, it will take a lot more time to heat until inside and more chance to fail. - 8
Once the chicken soup gets cool, mix it with eggs.
- 9
☆Tip 5☆ Pour the mixture of egg with soup into each cup with using a colander. This is optional but you will get a smoother texture.

- 11
☆Tip 6☆ Cover the cups tightly with aluminum foil.
- 12
☆Tip 7☆ Put the cups in a boiling pot and cover with lid(Do not open the gap).
- 13
Tilt a cup. If the soup is clear, it's done!

Kelanchim (Korean Chawanmushi) Steamed Egg Custard Kelanchim (Korean Chawanmushi) Steamed Egg Custard
This is a nice change of pace from making Chinese or Japanese-style chawanmushi. Kelanchim is made by pouring egg into hot broth and is boiled on a high heat. This has a nice texture in contrast to Japan's fluffy version. Make it however you like.Dashi stock is made with liquid seasoning, so it has less water content than Chinese stock. This recipe calls for dashi stock granules, so use 2/3 teaspoon salt, but use 1 whole teaspoon if you are using dried bonito flakes for the broth. Kelanchim is generally made in an earthenware pot, but it can also be easily made in a normal pot. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Make Delicious Savory Egg Custard (Chawanmushi) Using Instant Soup Mix Make Delicious Savory Egg Custard (Chawanmushi) Using Instant Soup Mix
This is very simple to make since I used instant clear soup (osuimono) packets as the soup stock. I love chawanmushi, and I wanted to be able to make it at any time. I came up with this recipe through trial and error. You can make this very easily in a frying pan too. Steaming the custard is the most difficult part, but as long as there's steam, you can cook them fine over low heat.Gingko nuts make a loud noise when they're heated so beware! Soup mixes differ from brand to brand so make sure you adjust the amount of salt added accordingly. If your pot or pan cover is dome-shaped, water will not drip so you don't need a towel. Take a peek at the custard frequently to make sure it doesn't get too full of bubbles, which ruin the texture. When the custards puff up a little bit they are done. Recipe by Agatsukuiekei -

Custard Cream Daifuku Custard Cream Daifuku
I've been seeing pudding daifuku at the supermarket lately. At first, I wasn't interested, but then I noticed that they seemed to be selling, so I took a stab at making them at home. I love to challenge myself, and thus this recipe was born!When making the caramel sauce, if the caramel seems too firm, add 1 tablespoon hot water, spread it around the pan, then add katakuriko dissolved in water, give it a quick stir and turn off the heat immediately. If you don't remove it from the heat right away, it will harden. It's best to make the custard cream ahead of time. Recipe by Risoa 51
