Mushroom chawanmushi

Makes: 4

Metric Imperial

Ingredients

30g fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
30ml peanut or vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ¼ cups prepared NOMU Chicken Stock
½ tsp dashi
1 tsp sake
1 tsp soy sauce
Oyster mushrooms, to garnish

Directions

Sauté the sliced mushrooms in a little oil and arrange them in a flat layer at the bottom of 4 x 125ml oriental bowls.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Add the prepared Chicken Stock, sake, dashi and soy sauce. Stir to combine thoroughly. Divide the egg mixture into each bowl over the mushrooms.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place a bamboo steamer on the rim of the pot and place the ramekins inside. Cover and allow to steam for 10-15 minutes.

To make the crispy oyster mushrooms, place on a baking tray and drizzle with olive, peanut or vegetable oil. Place in a preheated oven (200ºC) and roast until well browned and crispy.

Garnish the chawanmushi with crispy oyster mushrooms and serve immediately.

 

Notes: Dashi is a stock that forms the base of many Japanese dishes, such as soup, dipping sauce, and nimono (simmered dishes).

If you do not have a bamboo steamer, you can use a conventional one.
