Instructions
- Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them until uniform in color.
- Add the dashi, and salt and mix everything together evenly.
- Let the mixture rest until the bubbles disappear, or use a wire mesh skimmer to remove any foam on top. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chunks of albumin or chalaza.
- Add the edamame, shrimp, scallops and shiitake (or your choice of mix-ins) into heat-safe ceramic cups or ramekins.
- Divide the egg mixture evenly between the cups, and cover them with lids, or aluminum foil.
- Bring about ½-inch of water to a boil in a pot that's deep enough to hold the cups.
- Lay a dishtowel at the bottom of the pot, and then place the cups on top of the towel.
- Cover the pot with a lid and steam the Chawanmushi until the custard reaches a temperature of at least 160 degrees F or 71 C.
- Carefully remove the cups from the pot and then garnish with your choice of toppings. I used steamed shrimp, mitsuba, and ikura for mine.
- Chawanmushi can be served hot or cold.
