Chawamushi

Whenever I dine in japanese resturant, most of the time I will order my favourite side dish: chawamushi. I like the sweetness taste in it. You still see some soup-like water when you eaten part of it. I must say this is one of the creative dish invented by japanese people. They can add in crabstick, chicken etc to make it so delicious. Compared to our own chinese style, we often mix the egg with fish or minced meat only. The taste is much more savory.

I always very curious and always wanted to try out this dish on my own. I ever bought a premix of chawamushi. Taste almost the same as those japanese resturant. But however there is a strong determination in me that I wana do everything from the start. After see I eat I shoot I post's one of the video on the making of chawamushi, I decided to follow the same method but ingredients wise I did not follow the same. So here below recipes is my own style.

I finally did some research and managed to get some related recipe to try on my own. 

The picture which you see below is my 2nd attempt of the recipe which I gona share with you guys.
