Chawanmushi (Savory Egg Custard/茶碗蒸し) is a delicate and savory Japanese appetizer that we are familiar with. It is prepared by steaming egg with dashi stock in a small dainty Japanese teacup and filled with ingredients such as chicken, prawns, kamaboko, mushrooms, and mitsuba. Although Chawanmushi is a fairly simple dish, the common failure in making it gives a porous and spongy texture.

Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸し) is a silky smooth Japanese steamed egg custard that was originally served as a type of soup. This is why it has a very high ratio of soup stock to egg, and the custard usually has a variety of seafood, mushrooms, and vegetables cooked together with it. Chawanmushi's flavor comes mainly from Dashi, soy sauce, and mirin, and even though Chawanmushi is a savory dish, the texture is similar to egg flan.
