Ingredients:

Serving

3 large dried chinese black mushrooms
2 1/3 cups water
1 (4-inch) piece kombu ( dried kelp)
2 tbsp bonito flakes
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp shaoxing wine
1 1/2 tsp dry oloroso sherry
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp asian sesame oil
18 flowering chinese chives , tough bottoms discarded
1/2 lb jumbo lump crabmeat , picked over
1/2 tsp asian sesame oil
1/4 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp shaoxing wine
1 tbsp dry oloroso sherry
pinch of white pepper

Directions:

Make dashi: Simmer mushrooms in water in a small saucepan 5 minutes, then let steep off heat 10 minutes. Add kombu and return just to a simmer. Turn off heat and add bonito flakes, then let steep 10 minutes. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or glass measure, discarding solids. Cool dashi to room temperature.
Make custard: Beat eggs and 1 1/2 cups cooled dashi in a medium bowl, then whisk in remaining custard ingredients.
Divide among bowls. Cover each tightly with foil and arrange in a steamer rack. Steam, covered, over simmering water until just barely set in center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand, covered, 2 to 3 minutes. (Custard will continue to set.)
Prepare crab topping while custard steams: Blanch chives in a medium pot of boiling salted water 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Pat chives dry. Cut into 3/4-inch pieces and gently combine with crab and remaining ingredients.
Top warm custards with crab mixture.
Cooks' note: Dashi can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.
