I love the fact that microwaves have been around for 80 years and Dave is the only person to convince people that your can actually cook with it at anything less than 100 percent power. Much less create something tasty or more complicated than a frozen burrito.

7 eggs
1 quart flavourful liquid (e.g. dashi, stock)

Pour in microwavable container with lid.
Microwave @ 30% power of 1000W, 18 mins.

Total ge changer for me. I never knew this amazing dish until I moved to SG and it was love for the next 11 years... Now I'm in the UK and have to figure out how to make it at home. You have saved me!! Thank you!!!

Ha! I’ve been making chawanmushi for decades in a microwave 🤷‍♂️. Didn’t think it was that big of a deal. Breakfast is ready in 2 minutes. 😊

In my microwave I need to stir it after the first few minutes to make sure the warm custard liquid isn't all at the edges otherwise the middle never gets done

My dad used to make 계란찜 in the microwave all the time.

[viprcuisine]

What was the broth you added and how much???

[OumyNeferti]

Is it possible to add scallions/Parsley without messing up the custard?

[dunkelheit]

I did this with cup noodles leftover broth lol

Microwaves are really just like an oven. The problem is that people never bother to adjust the power settings. I never had a problem with using the microwave to my advantage when cooking. Something as a simple as fish can be cooked amazingly well in a microwave.

I followed the recipe on the website and ended up with lumpy slightly curdled looking eggs that were separated from the dashi. Not silky smooth . What did I do wrong?

[jamex]

Will this method work if I add other ingredients, such as oyster, shrimp, or mushrooms, into the mixture?

[YukikoOnoe]

Website recipe said 1200W with power level 5 for 7-8 min for 4-6 serving. Yet here, it said 1000W with power level 3 for 18 min. Why higher 1200W is higher power level than lower 1000W to cook? Isn’t it too high power to cook with 1200W?

[kimmowinter]

I fucked up too first batch. Separated. Now doing other in 180 degrees lets see. I used lobster broth

Anyone know samod microwave review please

[margeryreynolds]

Quick question...In the video you say you can make the 7 egg 1 qt. batch and keep it in the fridge to make later. How much of that liquid do you use for a single serving, which bowl and for how long?

[gabriellelingat]

Didn't work for me. I followed the recipe for 4 people. 900 watts 50% power, 19 minutes. It was curdled all over. Definitely overcooked.

This (eggs) isn’t something that makes you gain weight but all the other things that you are most likely eating (hello carbs and sugars).
