Sposób przygotowania
Krok po kroku
- 1
Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil over high heat.
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure the water level is not so high that it will touch the bottom of your steaming cups.
- 2
In a bowl, gently whisk the eggs until just combined, being careful not to create too many bubbles.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Over-whisking can lead to a frothy, less smooth custard.
- 3
Add the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin to the whisked eggs and mix gently.
Około 1 min
- 4
Strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any remaining egg white strands and bubbles.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly smooth custard texture.
- 5
Divide the chicken, shrimp, shiitake mushroom, and ginkgo nuts evenly among two heatproof chawanmushi cups or ramekins.
Około 3 min
- 6
Carefully pour the strained egg mixture over the fillings in each cup.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Do not fill the cups completely to the brim; leave a small space for expansion during steaming.
- 7
Cover each cup tightly with aluminum foil or a lid if your cups have them.
Wskazówka kucharza: This prevents condensation from dripping onto the custard, which can cause an uneven texture.
- 8
Place the covered cups into the steamer basket.
- 9
Steam over medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Około 15 min
Wskazówka kucharza: To check for doneness, insert a skewer into the center; if clear liquid comes out, it's ready. If it's cloudy, steam for a few more minutes.
- 10
Carefully remove the cups from the steamer.
Wskazówka kucharza: Be cautious as the cups will be hot.
- 11
Garnish with fresh mitsuba, if using, and serve immediately.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Chawanmushi is best enjoyed warm.
