Vegetable chawan mushi with dried mushroom, lotus root, edamame and carrot, and pork rib soup with Chinese radish, carrot and red dates with rice.  Both made in the Thermomix at the same time and both absolutely delicious. Although the pork ribs would have benefited from a longer and slower boil to make it more tender and next time I’ll remember to cover the chawan mushi bowls so you don’t get the lumpy looking top. Oops.
