做法
- 用筷子在碗中把鸡蛋打散——打散但不要打入空气。搅入出汁、酱油、味淋和盐至顺滑。用细筛过滤两次,确保没有结块。过滤的细致程度决定蛋羹的丝滑程度。
- 把鸡肉、虾、香菇和银杏果分到四个耐热茶碗或小烤盅中。茶碗约200毫升;摆放美观——它们将透过蛋羹可见。
- 把蛋液倒在食材上,到杯口下方约1厘米。每个碗轻敲台面释放气泡,用勺撇去表面浮沫。
- 在蒸笼中烧水至稳定沸腾。每个碗盖一小片穿一孔的锡纸或保鲜膜——防止冷凝水滴回。把碗放入蒸笼。
- 中小火蒸(猛火会让蛋羹起麻点)12到15分钟。用木签测试——刺入应渗出清液,而非黄色蛋液。
- 关火,每个上撒鸭儿芹。配长柄细勺上桌——食客探入找到鸡肉、虾、蘑菇和银杏。趁温吃。茶碗蒸是日本料理中典型用勺吃的菜。
Common questions

This recipe is suitable for most diets. If you have specific restrictions, the substitutions section in each ingredient note covers the most common swaps.
How hard is 茶碗蒸 to make at home?
茶碗蒸 sits at intermediate difficulty — total time about 33 minutes. The ingredients are not unusual but the timing requires attention.
Can 茶碗蒸 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 4 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
茶碗蒸出现在江户时代宴会菜单上,作为西式影响的新奇菜——蛋羹经长崎和荷兰商人传入。这道菜在日本高级料理和家庭餐桌都安顿下来。隐藏的食材是惊喜的一部分:一颗银杏果、虾的甜脆、香菇温皮般的深度。颜色应是浅樱草黄;深黄色蛋羹意味着鸡蛋太多或出汁太少。
