Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups dashi
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon mirin
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
Cheesecloth, for straining
Half of a package of enokitake
4 fresh shitake mushrooms
4 raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
4 ounces boned chicken thigh

1
Beat the eggs lightly, then add the rest of the ingredients for the custard. Strain the mixture though a strainer fitted with one layer of cheesecloth.
2
Preheat a steamer over high heat. Have ready 4 bowls or lidded cups.
3
Place your choice of additions into the bottom of the cups or bowls.
4
For the enokitake: heat a heavy skillet and pour in a splash of olive oil or vegetable oil. Saute the enokitake in the skillet until golden brown, adding a bit of soy sauce or salt to taste. The mushrooms will exude quite a bit of liquid; let the liquid cook off for a few minutes as you brown the mushrooms.
5
Pour the liquid into the bowls or cups and cover with saran wrap or fitted lids.
6
Place the covered cups in the preheated steamer over high heat. When the surface turns white, about 3 to 5 minutes, reduce the heat to medium-low and steam for a further 15 minutes.
7
Test the custard by inserting a bamboo skewer or toothpick into the center. The custard is done when the liquid runs clear. The surface of the custard should be slick and moist.
8
Serve hot or chilled in the cup.
