Choi Kang-rok's Steamed Egg Custard with Cheese
🍽️ A luxurious Japanese chawanmushi made by mixing liquid eggs with bonito broth, steaming it with cheese and chicken, and finishing with a thick mushroom sauce.
Season the bonito broth with rock salt, soy sauce for soup, and mirin, then mix well with liquid eggs to make the egg mixture.
Cut the camembert cheese, brie cheese, and chicken into appropriate sizes and place them in the prepared bowls.
Pour the egg mixture into the bowls, and then remove any surface foam using a kitchen torch.
Tightly wrap the opening of the bowls with plastic wrap to prevent foreign substances or moisture from entering during cooking.
Steam gently for about 20 minutes in a steam oven or steamer preheated to 90 degrees Celsius.
While the egg custard is steaming, bring bonito broth, sliced shiitake, button, and king oyster mushrooms, and rock salt to a boil in a pot.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, gradually add water starch to create a thick sauce.
Remove the steamed egg custard from the heat, peel off the plastic wrap, and carefully pour the mushroom sauce over the surface without breaking it.
Finally, grate only the yellow part of the lime zest and sprinkle it over the steamed egg custard for aroma.
Mix seasoned broth and liquid eggs, pour into bowls with cheese and chicken, and cover with plastic wrap.
Steam for 20 minutes in a 90-degree steam oven or steamer, and during that time, make a thick sauce by adding mushrooms and starch to the broth.
Carefully place the mushroom sauce over the steamed egg custard and sprinkle with grated lime zest to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
When removing foam with a torch, pass it quickly without holding it directly on the surface for too long, as this can cause charring and impart an unpleasant taste.
The cooking time for the steamed egg custard may vary depending on the depth and width of the bowl, and the amount of egg mixture, so adjust as needed.
When pouring the sauce, do so carefully from a low height to avoid damaging the delicate surface of the steamed egg custard.
Using liquid eggs eliminates the need to strain the eggs, making the process more hygienic and convenient.
