How to Make Instant Pot Chawanmushi (Recipe) 茶碗蒸しの作り方 (圧力鍋)

[@ladyflimflam]

This is one of my favorite instant pot tricks. I use chicken broth and whatever leftover protein and veg is in my fridge and serve for breakfast. Not nearly as elegant but an excellent leftover makeover method.

[@justonecookbook]

Indeed!

[@RayMak]

I love chawanmushi

[@taylorskyblue9413]

Her shirt matched the little bowls! So cute! ☺️💕💕

[@godsonglenn7349]

Hello 👋 how are you doing

[@keithyoshino235]

Definitely a favorite childhood memory, my mom didnt have that fancy cooker she just used her oven and it still came out great!

[@justonecookbook]

That's true. In Japan (and some Asian countries), most people don't have an oven, so we make it in a steamer or pot. I have those stovetop recipes on my blog too. :)

Lies again? Marine Soldier

[@User-19382]

@@NazriBwtf is your problem

[@purpleberryXO]

i attempted this recipe for the first time today and it was a success! i used only one egg, and scaled all other ingredients accordingly because i only have 2 very small ceramic cups meant for dipping sauce. steamed them for 10 mins and done! i will definitely get proper ramekins and make this for family & friends :)

[@christopherjones719]

Yep, that was totally the best part of the post. Thanks for all your work lately.

[@S4Kll]

this is one of my favourite food. i just moved to the uk from hong kong. japanese restaurants are hard to find here and only a few of them have chawanmushi. in hong kong there were a lot of it and i really loved the one from yoshinkya. i won’t be able to eat that anymore but thank you for this.

[@chrismoore9686]

I don't have an instant pot, however the instructions on your blog to use the other methods were very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!

[@justonecookbook]

Glad to hear that my instructions are clear. Thanks so much for your kind words.❤️

[@shiolei]

That first scoop breaking the surface at 4:18 was a stunning shot!

[@philip_hees]

I first tried chawanmushi in NYC ten years ago, at Tomi Jazz. Was very happy to find this recipe here - it is delicious!

[@ttorilopez1087]

Thank you for sharing! I was an exchange student in Japan for the summer and this was my favorite!!

[@davidramsay6142]

Just found this channel. Cooking is a hobby of mine and I enjoy all Asian food. I like the instruction and guidance this YT channel gives, very well done and some Japanese language instruction. What's not to like.

[@izzatysyahirah5642]

Thank you so much for this recipe :) This is a god sent recipe. However, I’ve discarded mirin because I am a muslim but it still tastes exactly like the ones from the Japanese restaurants. Such a simple recipe you will definitely succeed on the first try. I’ve made this about 5 times now and the only thing you should worry is how long you should steam it. Check regularly if you’re worried 😉

[@CourtneyinSF]

I make this recipe every two weeks now! Your method is foolproof!

[@annikegibson5506]

I love love love.. This video because your not baking or steaming in a pot but it's in the multicooker.... How awesome is that.. It fits in my daily life!

[@veggieg]

Look so good! Thank you for sharing the recipe 😍

[@jgsiewert]

Thank you for showing Instant Pot instructions. I love this dish but have never made it. This video gives me encouragement to try it!

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Wonderful Nami, this is such a tasty dish, can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for this video, have a beautiful day and thank you for the Japanese word at the end, this word I did know only because my son speaks fluent Japanese and he tells me different words all the time. See you in your next video.

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you Holly! Hope you enjoy this dish! Have a lovely weekend!

[@godsonglenn7349]

Hello 👋 how are you doing

[@shasegawa5404]

Hi Nami-Sensei! I’ve tried several recipes but yours has been by far the most successful. I love your あじ, it’s just perfect for my family’s palate! And the IP makes it so much more accurate for steaming! Thank you. Gochisousama!!

[@godsonglenn7349]

Hello 👋 how are you doing

[@guillaumesandmayer7053]

Very much almost the epitome of being a fancy starter for friends and family alike and yet it remains so simple, most guests think it is culinary wizardry!

[@mred3608]

I haven't had this custard in a long time. Perfect for my new instant pot. I think Daiso would sell those lifters for the pots. Thanks Name for another wonderful recipe.

[@justonecookbook]

Hope you enjoy making chawanmushi in your brand new IP! The lifters are from a Chinese grocery store. :D

[@yumichan46]

I also have 3-4 chawanmushi recipes used stovetop method on my website. 2) I got them at Daiso - Japanese dollar store. :) You can find them at Japanese home goods store or maybe supermarkets. And amazon!
