Umami founder Chef Roger Li sees gold in the farm-fresh eggs Wild Purveyors delivers to homes and restaurants throughout the Pittsburgh region. His Asian egg-custard recipe is a must-try side dish for your next roasted meat dinner entrée or veggie-forward brunch. 

Food stylist Rafael Vencio garnished our chawamushi roasted mushrooms, sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of rich Aleppo pepper.
