About Chawamushi

Chawanmushi is a traditional Japanese savory egg custard, typically steamed and served in a small cup. The dish features a silky, delicate texture, made by blending eggs with a seasoned dashi stock, often flavored with soy sauce and mirin. Common ingredients mixed into or layered within the custard include shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, ginkgo nuts, and sometimes steamed fish cakes, offering a balance of flavors and nutrients. Low in calories and rich in protein, chawanmushi is a healthy choice, particularly when prepared with lean proteins and vegetables. However, sodium levels can be high due to the soy sauce and dashi base, so portions and recipes should be considered for those watching their salt intake. This light and versatile dish is a staple in Japanese cuisine and is often served as an appetizer or part of a multi-course meal.
