About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp shiro dashi
- 3 tbsp sake
- 3/4 cup broth
- 0.33 cup water
Chili Crisp
- 3 tbsp dehydrated shallots
- 2 scallion
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp crushed red peppers
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
Instructions
- 1Separate the eggs: remove the tops of the shells, place three whole eggs and one extra yolk into a bowl, and set the remaining eggs aside for later use. Store the reserved eggs in the refrigerator.
- 2Wash the empty shells and boil them for 2 minutes to sterilize.
- 3In the bowl with the eggs, whisk together water, broth, sake, soy sauce, mirin, and shiro dashi until fully combined.
- 4Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any solids.
- 5Pour the strained custard into individual egg‑steamer cups or a heat‑proof dish, dividing it evenly.
- 6Steam on low heat for 13–15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the custard sit, semi‑covered, for an additional 5 minutes to finish setting.
- 7Prepare the chili crisp: combine dehydrated shallots, chopped scallion, freshly grated ginger, toasted sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, sugar, crushed red peppers, rice vinegar, and soy sauce in a bowl, leaving out the avocado oil.
- 8Heat the avocado oil in a small pan until hot but not smoking, then carefully pour it into the bowl with the other crisp ingredients.
- 9Stir the chili crisp thoroughly to emulsify the oil with the vinegar and soy sauce.
- 10Using a sharp knife, make shallow cuts on the surface of the steamed egg custard so the sauce can penetrate.
- 11Drizzle the prepared chili crisp over the steamed eggs, allowing it to soak into the cuts, and garnish with additional chopped scallion if desired.
