Cooking Instructions

1. Dissolve 1 packet of Chawanmushi Mix in 3/4 cup (200 ml) of lukewarm water and let it cool.
2. Crack a jumbo egg into a bowl, beat it well, and add it to the cooled mixture. Tip: Using a smaller egg may result in an undercooked custard.
3. Evenly pour the mixture into two heatproof containers, each about 2/3 cup (150 ml) in size. Cover each container with a lid. Tip: Using lids helps the custard set more smoothly and beautifully. If your containers don’t have lids, you can use aluminum foil instead.
4. Place the containers in a pot filled with water halfway up the sides of the containers.
5. Cover the pot with a lid and place over high heat. Once it comes to a boil, reduce to medium heat and steam for 5 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for another 5 minutes before serving.
