Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil over high heat.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 3 min.
6
Carefully pour the strained egg mixture over the fillings in each cup.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Nota bucătarului: Be cautious as the cups will be hot.
11
Garnish with fresh mitsuba, if using, and serve immediately.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Chawanmushi is best enjoyed warm.
