Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)
- Silken Tofu 1/2 block (150g)
- Eggs 2
- Myoga (Japanese Ginger) 2
- Okra 2
- Kamaboko (Fish Cake) 1/2
- Potato Starch 1 tsp
Seasonings
- [A] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tbsp
- [B] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tsp
- [B] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
- [B] Sugar 1 tsp
Steps
- Place Silken Tofu 1/2 block (150g) in a heatproof bowl and mix with a whisk until it becomes a paste.
- Crack 2 Eggs into the pureed tofu and mix them together while beating.
- Add 100ml of water and [A] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tbsp, and mix further.
- If there are bubbles on the surface, crush them with a whisk.
- Cover with plastic wrap and heat in a 200W microwave for 8 minutes.
- After heating for 8 minutes, heat for another 4 minutes at 200W.
- If it's not firm, continue to heat at 200W for 1 minute at a time, checking the consistency. This is the key! Heating slowly at a low wattage prevents it from becoming grainy and results in a smooth texture.
- Insert a sharp object; if nothing sticks, it's cooked. Let it cool down and then chill in the refrigerator.
- Cut Myoga (Japanese Ginger) 2 into 4 lengthwise strips and finely chop.
- Soak the chopped myoga in water for about 5 minutes to remove bitterness, then drain thoroughly.
- Cut off the ends of Okra 2, sprinkle with salt, and rub to create surface texture.
- Pierce the okra in several places with a sharp object, then wrap in plastic wrap.
- Heat in a 600W microwave for 20 seconds, cool in cold water, and then slice into rounds.
- Cut Kamaboko (Fish Cake) 1/2 into approximately 5mm cubes.
- In a heatproof container, combine 100ml of water, [B] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tsp, [B] Soy Sauce 2 tsp, [B] Sugar 1 tsp, and Potato Starch 1 tsp. Mix well.
- Heat in a 600W microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. (Take it out once to stir to prevent lumps.)
- Once thickened, let it cool down and then chill in the refrigerator.
- Top the chilled chawanmushi with chopped myoga, sliced okra, and diced kamaboko.
- Pour the chilled sauce over it.
