A silky, melt-in-the-mouth egg custard enhanced with a refreshing kelp broth and strained to remove stringy bits for an ultra-smooth texture.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always cover the container tightly with aluminum foil to prevent steam droplets from falling on the custard surface, which can cause uneven or bumpy texture.
  • Letting the custard rest for 5 minutes after turning off the heat ensures it stays light and doesn't sink—resulting in a soft, moist, pudding-like mouthfeel.
  • Lightly coat the knife with sesame oil before cutting to prevent the custard from sticking and ensure clean, neat slices.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully recreate the smooth, pudding-like egg custard often found in school lunches or Japanese restaurants at home.
  • People looking to prepare mild, soft, nutritious side dishes suitable for children or elderly family members.
