Instructions to make Make Delicious Savory Egg Custard (Chawanmushi) Using Instant Soup Mix:

1. The amount of water you add depends on the size of the egg. (The brown egg is small). Please reduce the amount of water if the egg is smaller. The egg to water (+hot water) ratio = 1:3
2. If using extra-large eggs, add 200 ml of water and 1 packet of soup mix. For medium-sized eggs, use 180 ml of water (including the hot water)
3. Marinate the chicken in soy sauce (the amount in the picture serves 6). Marinate for about 30 minutes to remove the gamey odor of the chicken.
4. In the meantime, use a small container to dissolve the clear soup mix in hot water. Leave to cool. I used a packet meant for commercial restaurant use (1 serving packet makes 150 ml of soup).
5. Crack the egg, add the sugar and mix well (but don't whip any air into it). Once the sugar has dissolved, add water and mix well. Strain the egg mixture through a coarse sieve.
6. Attention! Use a coarse-mesh sieve. It's easier to strain the mixture using a coarse sieve rather than a fine-mesh sieve, and easier to clean too. The reason the mixture is strained is to make it smooth.
7. Another reason to strain the egg mixture is to remove the chalaza (the opaque white bit that attaches the yolk to the egg white) as well as any bits of shell. So be sure to strain it - using a coarse sieve is fine.
8. Add the strained egg mixture to the cooled clear soup. This time, I have strained the egg directly into the soup. Add salt to taste.
9. About the shiitake mushrooms: I bought these when they were cheap and froze them. Cut the stems off and put them into bags without washing. You can slice them thinly without having to defrost them.
10. Place the chicken and other ingredients into 5 chawanmushi containers, then gently pour in the egg mixture. This time I used only chicken and shiitake mushrooms, but I added the ingredients in the soup mix so it's ok.
11. ~Add if you have these~: Gingko nuts (10) Put them in an envelope (one from junk mail or something that you'll throw away anyway) and fold the envelope closed 2-3 times. Microwave for 1 minute.
12. You can also add peeled and cleaned shrimp or scallops (from a bag of mixed frozen seafood or so), corn kernels, mitsuba, etc. if you have them too.
13. If the custard starts to form bubbles, use a spoon to remove them. Fill a pot or frying pan that has a lid with water to come halfway up the sides of the chawanmushi cups.
14. Cover the frying pan or pot with a lid, but leave a small opening. You can do this by sticking a chopstick in between the lid and the rim of the pot or pan. To prevent condensation from dripping onto the chawanmushi, you can also wrap the lid in a towel. Be careful that the cloth won't catch fire.
15. Start on high heat. When the lid starts making a clattering sound, it means has come to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn the heat down to medium low and cook for 10 minutes (you should be able to hear little bits of clattering).
16. The chawanmushi that are at the end of the pan where the lid is held open won't set well, so after 3 minutes switch the position of the chopstick to the other side of the pot or pan. They are done when clear liquid runs out of the hole when you poke them with a chopstick.
17. I cut up the chicken for chawanmushi into small pieces, sprinkle it with soy sauce and freeze it. Just take it out 30 minutes before you need it, and it will have defrosted and is already pre-flavored.
18. This tastes great with a lot of ingredients added, or just a few added. Please note that f you don't add chicken, there won't be any clear liquid when you poke the custard!
19. It is really delicious with just the salt in the soup stock. The fragrance and flavor of the matsutake mushroom is really addictive.
20. For reference, when I used a 6-serving soup mix packet, I needed 4 eggs and 700 ml of water (+ hot water).

Going Green for Better Health By Eating Superfoods

One of the greatest reasons for green living is to slow down and bask in life. This is achievable no matter how filled and frantic your life is. We should go back to a lifestyle that prevents disease before we have to get it treated. Regrettably, just about people don’t trouble themselves about their health because they believe they can take a pill to fix the problem later on. You can’t turn around without being bombarded by ads about the newest pill to cure you of your health problems. Naturally, several of these pills do help but only if you couple them with shift in your lifestyle. Unlike purchasing a new car, you cannot trade in your worn out body for a new one. You need to take care of your body while you can do so. Your body cannot run correctly if it does not get the right nutrition.

Do you eat because food is available and you enjoy what they taste or do you decided to eat healthy foods? How many times a week do you eat at your local fast food place or buy junk food at the local mini mart? Ingesting sugar and starches, and also fatty foods, is it any surprise that new diseases are being discovered all of the time? The foods we are eating cause obesity, diabetes, and hypertension of pandemic proportions. People are choosing to eat better now that they are aware of how crucial food choices are to their health. Now it is a lot easier to find quality foods by going to a local farmer’s market or health food store.

Most likely, your local grocery store today has an organic food aisle. This section has what are today recognized as superfoods. Superfoods refer to 14 specific foods that can retard or reverse certain serious health conditions. You will see that you think more clearly when you begin to consume these superfoods. Once you trade in the junk food for these super foods, you will be amazed at how healthy you will soon feel. By getting the proper nutrition, your body will function the way it is supposed to function. By doing this, your immune system will easily fight off diseases.

Be sure to incorporate these superfoods into your daily diet. Foods such as beans and berries are very good. Add some green tea or spinach or broccoli. Add in whole cereals and nuts. See to it that you consume proteins such as soya beans, yogurt, salmon, and turkey, as well as orange fruits and vegetables like oranges, pumpkins, and tomatoes. Making these foods a usual part of your diet will eliminate your weight gain problems.

Green living provides you with a good diet plan, with all of the good ingredients for better health. Your body will be free of disease as your immune system improves. You can anticipate a healthy future by changing your food choices right now.
