Japanese Chawanmushi (Steamed Egg Custard)
KA @kana_from_japan
Cooking Chawanmushi sounds difficult. However, if you understand the tips, you will not fail in making this!
Although we usually use dashi soup(Japanese soup stock), I used chicken stock cubes as a substitute and it tastes amazing too!

- 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.)
- 4
☆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.
- 5
☆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.
- 10
- 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
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

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

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.

#132 Steamed Egg with Imitation Crab Sticks
Steam some eggs while cooking rice in an electric rice cooker for an easy, hassle-free meal. The ratio of eggs to water is about 1 to 2 (one bowl of eggs to two bowls of water). You can add any ingredients you like. Finally, a simple seasoning will give you smooth and tender steamed eggs.❶ If you find the seasoning not flavorful enough, you can add some soy sauce while eating.❷ If you prefer plain steamed eggs, you can skip the additional ingredients.❸ Straining the eggs before steaming will result in a smoother texture.❹ You can also use small rice bowls to make individual servings.🙏 I'm a beginner at posting, so your feedback is appreciated. 🙏 Feel free to discuss any good methods you have. :)‣‣ Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/it16xzDTFoY‣‣ Facebook fan page: https://reurl.cc/rly9Lr#DeliciousDiary

Soy Milk Custard in 5 Minutes
I love to relax by making cream-filled buns with egg-free custard.It gets thicker as it cools, so it's better not to make it too thick.Thicker custard works better for desserts like cream puffs or tarts.The surface of the custard tends to dry out, if you don't cover it with plastic wrap before chilling.

I love custard cream.You can use it as a bread filling or to make cream puffs.This makes a good dessert as it is.My children gobble it down!It's difficult for me to make complicated recipes, so I tried to make a simple & easy one.The key is to keep stirring the cream with a whisk over low heat.When it starts to harden, it gets hard very quickly. So if you stop stirring, the cream will become hard and lumpy.To make the cream smooth, just keep stirring!With this recipe, the custard cream turns out rather hard compare to the strawberry or banana version.

Easy Custard Cream with Whole Egg (Gluten-Free Possible)
I combined and refined the recipes my friend taught me and a recipe I saw on TV. I made it with rice flour for one of my relatives who has celiac disease. However, it seems richer when made with flour.Spread the flour in a heatproof container and microwave it for 30 seconds. Repeat it 3 times. When the moisture of the flour evaporates and the texture is similar to katakuriko (potato starch), it is ready. Substitute the whole eggs for 3 egg yolks for even richer cream. Change the flour to rice flour (30 g) for gluten-free diet. The rice flour does not need to be microwaved. Recipe by Shirayukihimesan

Yomogi (Japanese Mugwort) Steamed Bread with Pancake Mix
When I was small, I used to pick wild Japanese mugwort from my neighborhood to use for cooking. Since I don't see them anymore, I used yomogi flour instead.To prevent the hot water splashing onto the bread, be extra careful with the amount of water you use. Also take care when you're removing it from the pan. You can prevent the hot water from dripping if you double the liners (or place muffin cups inside), in which case you'd only need to lift out the cups inside. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

Don't you sometimes just want to eat a grown-up flavored steamed bread? I was always thinking about making something like that, but didn't quite go through with it. With this combination of ingredients you can enjoy them with your children too. If you love coffee, you can add more to make it even more bitter. This is a simple and basic recipe, so please add your own variations and have fun.I added richness by using light brown sugar. Just like plain steamed bread, make sure not up over mix it, be sure to use a cloth, and please steam at a high heat. Please make sure to dissolve the coffee well. The size of each steamer varies from store to store, so place that in a pot, civet with a plate, and you should be good to go.(Recipe by Shirufi-)
