Chawanmushi
This time, we'll be making a Western-style chawanmushi using mozzarella cheese and tomatoes.
The ratio is 2 eggs to 300cc of dashi
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with chopsticks while adding the dashi
Strain through a fine sieve. (Discard any egg cloudiness that remains in the sieve.)
Add salt and light soy sauce to the strained egg mixture and mix
Cut the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and place the cherry tomatoes and cheese in equal portions in a bowl
Gently pour the egg mixture into (5), being careful not to create air bubbles
Place the container in a steamer that is already steaming and steam over high heat for 1.5 to 2 minutes
If the surface turns white like this, it means the inside is cooked through
Reduce the heat to low, cover 【8】 with kitchen paper, then put the lid on and steam for another 15 minutes. At this time, place a chopstick on the edge of the lid to create an escape hole for the steam.
(This will prevent too much pressure from building up inside the steamer and prevent the steam from getting in.)
After 15 minutes, remove from the steamer and it's done.
(You'll see melted cheese coming out.)
