About Chawanmushi

Chawanmushi is a traditional Japanese dish that translates to "steamed in a tea bowl." This savory custard is made from a mixture of eggs, dashi broth, soy sauce, and mirin, often enriched with ingredients like shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, and ginkgo nuts. It is gently steamed to achieve its smooth, silky texture and delicate flavor. As a protein-rich dish, chawanmushi provides essential amino acids from eggs and the added meats or seafood. The dashi contributes nutrients like iodine from its seaweed base. Low in calories and fat, it is generally a healthy choice, though sodium levels may be higher due to the soy sauce and mirin. Traditionally served as an appetizer or side dish, chawanmushi is a comforting and nutrient-rich option within the well-balanced principles of Japanese cuisine.
