Recipe

Cooking tips

  • You can achieve a much smoother egg custard without the hassle of straining—just wipe off egg strings stuck in the whisk’s gaps with a kitchen towel.
  • If using regular salt instead of flavor salt, add 1 teaspoon of regular salt and a pinch of dashi powder for enhanced umami flavor.
  • Placing a cloth or silicone pad at the bottom of the pot while steaming completely eliminates the noisy clattering sound.

Recommended for

  • People who want to make a smooth, pudding-like, firm egg custard at home similar to those served in school lunches or Japanese restaurants.
  • Those curious about a pro tip to make a smooth egg custard without the trouble of straining.
  • Anyone looking for an attractive, well-shaped dish perfect as a child’s side dish or for serving guests.
