Japanese Comfort Food

My friend Yoko from Japan, directed me step by step on how to make this dish.  We were served this several times while we were there.

Chawanmushi literally means “tea cup steam” or “steamed in a tea bowl”. It is a Japanese egg custard. Chawanmushi can be eaten either hot, cold or room temperature.

This is Yoko’s Mise-en-place (三瀬アン·場所) that she emailed me.

Here is where I begin….

Place the marinated shrimp & shiitake in the bottom of the bowl

Pour the dashi egg custard into the bowls

Poke holes to vent

Put on a rack in a pan of water half way up the side of the cups
