    Chawanmushi is a delicate Japanese savoury egg custard that literally means "steamed in a tea cup". The key to getting it right is a simple ratio of 1 part egg and 3 parts stock.
    Forge Creek Free Range are egg producers in East Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. When the Black Summer bushfires hit it was devastating for an area that usually relies heavily on tourism. After that came COVID, but the area is now recovering.

    I am Japanese who live in the UK.
    His recipes are the best!! He has perfected everything from the basic. I always eat this one with sushi restaurant. It’s like a Umami soup for me.
    All Japanese food is different here, but his recipes are perfect!

    Every time I notice that I'm starting to develop a weird cynicism about anything, I heal myself by watching one of Adam's videos. A few minutes in, and the world seems to be ok again.
    Also: bloody good recipes!

    If one is lucky enough to have a little blowtorch in the kitchen this can be used to pop bubbles on the surface of the chawanmushi as well - just do a very brief pass with the flame and the bubbles will disappear.
