David Chang’s Chawanmushi

The umami essence of this savory Japanese egg custard comes from dashi. a stock made from dried kelp (kombu). Compared to our Silky Chinese Steamed Egg Custard. this version uses a higher liquid to egg ratio for an even silkier custard. Chef’s hats off to Peter Serpico. former Momofuku chef. for crafting the perfect proportion of dashi to egg: 7 eggs per 1 quart of liquid!
