Chawanmushi

This traditional Japanese steamed custard is gentle, savory, and soul-soothing—especially when nothing else sounds good. Traditionally made in a steamer, we found that gently cooking in a low oven temp gets you the same silky texture without the hassle. The base is just eggs and bone broth and the result is pure comfort. If you can’t find roe, don’t let that stop you! This dish is worth making anyway, and you’ll still get plenty of nourishing, umamipacked goodness.
