How to pickle mushrooms

  • Place all of the ingredients into a pot except for the mushrooms and bring to a boil.  Place the mushrooms in a heat proof container.  
    Once the liquid comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved pour over the mushrooms.  Place a lid over it and allow it to come to room temperature.  This is better if it is made at least a day ahead of time.

For the sunchokes

  • Place peeled sunchokes in a small pot with ginger, stock, and salt.  Bring to a slow simmer and cook until the sunchokes are tender. Remove the ginger and then puree until smooth with a hand blender or vitamix.

Sunchoke Chawanmushi

  • Measure out 2 1/2 cups of the puree and mix with the eggs, truffle oil, and salt to season.  Then place in ramekins or tea cups.  Place the cups into a steamer that can hold them flat.  Steam the custards until just set about 8-10 minutes.

How to make the ginger agave dressing

  • Meanwhile for the ginger agave dressing, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a whisk.  Adjust seasoning with salt if need be and set aside.

To Finish

  • Take the chawanmushi out of the steamer.  Top the custard with a few spoonfuls of the ginger dressing.  Then add the sunchoke chips, pickled mushrooms, and flowering cilantro.  Serve and enjoy!
