Инструкции
- Chill the dashi. Beat eggs into fine omelette. Add dashi, salt and Japanese sake. Mix well.
- Use a steamer for the chawanmushi. Chawan means tea bowl/cup and mushi means steaming!
- Fill four cups with one fourth of the tofu, pouring it into the cups little by little with a spoon. Pour one fourth of the egss dashi mixture on top.
- Cover each cup with a piece of cellophane paper. Steam for 2 minutes on strong fire, then 20 minutes on a low fire.
- While the chawanmushi is steaming, prepare the sweet and sour sauce.
- In a small pan, pour the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, Japanese sake and bring to boil.
- Shred the crab and add to sauce.
- Add cornstarch and mix well until sauce is smooth. Take off fire.
- Bear in mind that the sauce must be ready at the moment the chawanmushi is completely steamed, not before!
- Pour an equal amount of sauce on each chawanmushi. Decorate with trefoil and serve!
- NOTE:
- The chawanmushi taste is a bit weak, while the taste of the sweet and sour taste is trong, thus attaining the right balance!
