Chawanmushi 茶碗蒸し

Bought some fishcakes from the market~
they are so cute, and cost 20 cents per slice.
Got to clear them b4 I start my strict diet for 14 days...


I made Chawanmushi... =)
We love~~!

Piggies again!
and I think these 2 piggies looked really similar!

the pink pandan~ HEHE..looking kind of sad...

forever friends!

The egg was smooth and soft..just like silken tofu~

So how did I make it?
My recipe is very simple as there's no sake or mirin involved. I don't need it to be extremely flavourful..
Just feel that hon-dashi granules are enough to make the chawanmushi yummy!

I bet this will be a popular steamed dish in your family!

2 large eggs

310ml of hon-dashi stock (Use 1 TBSP of hot water to dissolve hondashi granules, after it's dissolved mix into the remaining water)
