Chinese Steamed Egg Custard

This classic Chinese egg custard is surprisingly easy to whip up in the microwave! With a silky-smooth texture reminiscent of silken tofu, this savory dish combines eggs and chicken stock for a comforting treat. Just top it off with some soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, and fresh scallions, and you’re all set! It’s perfect over steamed rice or with poached seafood. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try making chawanmushi, the Japanese version, by swapping in dashi instead of chicken stock. Enjoy!
