Instructions

1

Heat dashi broth to 140°F (60°C), stir in mirin and soy sauce. Cool completely.
2

Whisk eggs without air bubbles—don't make foamy, just gently mix.
3

Pass cooled dashi-egg mixture through fine sieve—for smooth texture without bubbles.
4

Fill cups: layer chicken, shiitake, kamaboko, and shrimp in each.
5

Gently pour egg mixture until 1 cm (about ½ inch) below rim.
6

Cover cups with foil.
7

Steam in steamer or pot (water at bottom) at 176°F (80°C, no hard boiling!) for 15–18 minutes.
8

Done when set but still jiggles slightly.
9

Just before serving, drizzle 1 tsp cannabis-sesame oil cold on each cup.
10

Garnish with mitsuba or chives.

Pro Tips

Temperature control is everything: above 185°F (85°C) you get bubbles and graininess—no boiling!
Dashi must be completely cool before mixing with eggs.
Cannabis-sesame oil as finishing touch: aromatic and effective, no heating.
