Approx 10 minutes. For faster results, put a heavy bowl on top of the mushrooms to weigh it down. 3) In a stove top pot, add bonito flakes and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off heat and let steep for 5 minutes. 4) In a medium size mixing bowl, add eggs, soy sauce, salt and beat until fully combined. 5) After dried Shiitake mushroom are softened, remove from the bowl reserving the liquid and chop into pea size pieces. Set reserved liquid aside. 6) Next, strain the bonito flakes in a strainer keeping the liquid and discard the bonito flakes. This is your dashi stock. 7) Add dashi stock and mushroom water into the egg mixture and stir to combine. 8) Optional - to ensure a silky smooth chawamushi, put the entire mixture through the strainer. 9) Pour mixture into ramekins or heat safe bowls and add cut mushrooms. 10) Fill a large stove top pot with 1/2 inch of water. Place ramekins or bowls into the pot and bring water to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover 7/8. This will ensure the temperature inside the pot does not get too hot. To avoid water dripping into the bowls, wrap the lid with a kitchen towel before covering as shown. Cook for approx 10-12 minutes all the while leaving the lid slightly open at 7/8 (this is very important so the chawamushi remains smooth and silky). If the chawamushi does not look fully set, continue to steam for another 2-3 minutes. 11) Once chawamushi is fully cooked, using mittens, carefully remove ramekins or bowls from the pot and serve. (Note- Bowls will be extremely hot so proceed with caution). 12) Optional - You can add any toppings you like to the chawamushi mixture. If using chicken or shrimp, I recommend pre-cooking before adding. submitted by /u/LowCarbingAsian [link] [comments]
