Go to the Recipe: Dungeness Crab Chawanmushi
Can I move the chawanmushi to a bowl and add the crab salad on top? I don't want to serve it to my guests in the jars
Amazing! Had to use a previously cooked and frozen Dungeness crab.....still a great meal! We love Chawanmushi and the recipe making the dashi and the roasted crab shell may be my go to recipe from now on. Thanks!
Either can swap out ok, even crawfish. The closest flavor to Dungeness would be king or snow crab tho.
No Dungeness crab in my part of the country. Any suggestions? Blue crabs or Lobster, maybe? Would you use them as a gm for gm substitution? Thx
I found the fastest way to do Chawanmushi is by steaming them in a shallow pressure cooker (I use the Kuhn-Rikon braiser) for 3 minutes at 7.5 PSI on top of the trivet with 2 cups of water, then doing a fast release. I use this technique routinely when I have guests and works every time. I use a Japanese Chawanmushi set I got from Amazon.
Looks amazing!
