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
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
Korean-Style Steamed Egg Custard (Geranchim)
Whenever I order something spicy from a Korean restaurant, I always get some of this for free.When adding the dashi stock, be sure it's cooled.

Slowly steam over low heat until the edges have burnt a little and the inside is cooked through. Recipe by Gutsugutsudesu

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.
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

For 4 servings. Recipe by Mama buta
Simple & Jiggly Egg Custard Pudding
I made this at the request of my son! It put me through hell but I finally got the recipe down.For those without electric mixers, just beat the eggs normally and strain at step 5 to get any lumpy egg white bits out of the mixture. Since we're using gelatin, it will turn out pretty smooth even without straining it. Be careful, the milk amount is written in g. For those that prefer to work with volume rather than weight 15 ml =17 g, so use that to calculate what you need. Recipe by masakoh mama

This is a variation of my "Simple! Tofu No-Bake Cheesecake" recipe.When you chill these desserts, they will go a little hard.

Microwaveable Ankake Egg Custard
It's difficult when you catch a cold. I had no energy to take my child with me to go shopping, but I really wanted to eat tofu.

If you don't strain the mixture in Step 3, the egg will settle at the bottom and have a different texture. Recipe by mhanako
Coconut Chia Custard
I needed something to do with the extra egg yolks I accumulate from my morning egg whites. Chia is one of the coolest foods! The little seed can soak up up to 9 times its weight in liquid and makes a versatile gel. If you haven't tried them chem them out. This one of many chia custard recipes I've whipped up. Top with almonds for a great filling snack. Note: you can use any "milk" for this recipe. I used half whole milk and 1/2 rice milk. Feel free to experiment with substitutes.

Moderately Sweet Creamy Custard
There's a creme puff shop that is famous for it's creme puffs and I really wanted to make it myself, so I decided to experiment. If you have vanilla beans, it's even better, but I successfully substituted with vanilla extract. Even so, it's still perfectly delicious. It's a custard that will absolutely have people saying how delicious it is.There wasn't really any difference when the powdered ingredients were sifted, so it's okay to just add them as is.When you add the eggs, they cook quickly, but please don't panic and turn off the heat too quickly. Heat until 1 second before the consistency you want! Recipe by Wagamamamusume

Loquat Pit 'Almond Tofu' Custard
There's a loquat tree that my father planted in his garden. Every year, although the fruits are nice eaten as is, I always feel like making something with them. My grandmother used eat loquat seeds by drying and roasting them, so I learned about their health benefits as well as how to eat them. I learned that they have the same properties as apricot pits. So I tried to make a custard cream, which I love. I actually don't like almond tofu or loquats, but I can eat this.As long as you pay attention to the warning in Step 2, it should be easy. Even if you add a few drops of vanilla essence or vanilla oil, it won't mask the apricot pit fragrance, so don't worry. Recipe by Keyco*
Melt-in-Your-Mouth Custard Pudding
I wanted to eat a lot of melt-in-your-mouth custard pudding.The translucent plastic jars sold at 100 yen shops or other cheap shops are not good quality and might melt in the heat so be careful (I had a bad experience). Glass jars or cups are the best. You have to have heatproof containers. There are a lot of key points you have to follow in this recipe but if you do you will recreate tasty custard pudding at home.
