About Japanese steam egg

Japanese Steam Egg, known as "Chawanmushi," is a savory egg custard dish originating from Japanese cuisine. It's made from a delicate mixture of eggs, dashi broth, soy sauce, and mirin, often flavored with added ingredients like chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, or vegetables. Light and silky in texture, Chawanmushi is traditionally steamed and served warm in small cups or bowls. Rich in protein from the eggs and seafood, this dish offers essential nutrients while being low in calories and fat. Dashi, a key ingredient, provides valuable minerals and umami flavor without excessive sodium. However, its preparation may include higher-sodium condiments like soy sauce, so mindful consumption is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Widely enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish, Japanese Steam Egg embodies both simplicity and elegance, making it a versatile, wholesome addition to any meal.
