Chawan-mushi (Our Family's Golden Ratio)
This recipe was given to me by my mother. My mother used to make dashi stock with real bonito flakes but I cheated by using dashi powder.
I use dried shiitake mushrooms as a topping but you can use anything you like. When you use them use the soaking water to add to the dashi stock.
I use dashi powder to make dashi stock but use bonito flakes for a better result. Recipe by Nacchi sencho

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If you use dried shiitake mushrooms soak 2 of them in 50 ml of water for half a day.
- 2
Make dashi stock. Put 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of dashi powder in a bowl. Pour in hot water to make 600 ml of dashi stock.
- 3
Once the dashi stock from Step 2 has cooled, add 3 eggs and the shiitake mushroom soaking water from Step 1 and stir. Try not to make bubbles.
- 4
Put the egg mixture from Step 3 through a sieve.
- 5
Some egg white will not get through the sieve but do not add to the strained mixture. (Use it to make a dashimaki-omelet.)
- 6
Add salt and soy sauce to Step 5 egg mixture. Do not make bubbles when stirring.
- 7
Add the toppings of your choice (I used dried mushrooms, prawns, crab sticks, nagaimo and spinach).
- 8
Pour in the egg mixture from Step 6 into the cups from Step 7. Remove any bubbles floating on the surface carefully.
- 9
Arrange the dishes onto a steamer. Put the steamer on the heat (over a high heat at first).
- 10
About 5 minutes after the steam starts to rise the surface sets. Turn the heat to low to medium.
- 11
Steam for a further 5 to 10 minutes. When you insert the skewer and clear soup comes up it is done.
- 12
Steam the chawan-mushi over medium heat from start to finish if you want to prevent them from getting porous. You can remove the lid to check how it goes.

Simple Chawan-mushi (Steamed Egg Custard) with Cherry Blossoms & Fava Beans Simple Chawan-mushi (Steamed Egg Custard) with Cherry Blossoms & Fava Beans
I wanted to create spring-like dishes to enjoy the season.If you don't like the beans and sausage slices sinking down to the bottom, place them when the egg mixture starts to set. Ensure that small air bubbles aren't formed in the egg mixture by checking how set the egg mixture is occasionally. If you use mentsuyu add only 1 tablespoon first and check the taste. If you need more, add more. Recipe by Asamato

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 -

Wakame Seaweed Chawanmushi (Egg Custard) Wakame Seaweed Chawanmushi (Egg Custard)
I wanted to make chawanmushi since I had lots of eggs, but I only had wakame seaweed for the filling.It's delicious just with wakame seaweed, but if you add kamaboko fish cake and imitation crab sticks, they will add more colour and it will taste better.Remove the lid after 10 minutes in Step 4, and check the egg mixture. If it's still runny, cook a little bit more, or microwave. Recipe by zakkiiM -

No Bubbles! Easy Mentsuyu Chawanmushi No Bubbles! Easy Mentsuyu Chawanmushi
To simplify the method, I used a pot instead of a frying pan. Since it's so easy, I serve chawanmushi for dinner often.Getting rid of the bubbles with a lighter was a method I learned from my mom. Be careful of the flame!Once the water in the pot boils, bring the heat down to low or medium. If the heat is too strong, bubbles will form.Cook the meat beforehand. If you put it in raw, the meat might still be raw even though the egg is already cooked. Even if you microwave the chicken, it'll be tender and not overly dry. Recipe by Shijimi24. -
