Recipes for microwave lemon curd have been around since the 1980s. But it took an Instagram post in 2021 to get me to try it.
Actually, it was many posts, most of them from the chef David Chang. A committed microwave enthusiast, he didn’t make curd, but he did demonstrate other dishes like kimchi jjigae, mashed potatoes and chawanmushi that you wouldn’t expect could be made in a microwave.
