It should be 20 minutes.
But this will vary depending on the size and shape of your ramekin or chawanmushi cups, the ingredients in your egg mixture (the more meat, the longer the steam time), how much actual custard is in your ramekins or cups, and probably most important how thick the walls of your cups are.
I only steam 1 egg at a time - takes me 7-12 mins.
Was looking for my liquid proportion - found it: 1/2c per egg (though one recipe I learned from used the egg shell as a measure and did 3 iirc egg shells worth of liquid per egg - I am not great at cracking eggs so that wouldn’t work for me as the shell size could be anything when I’m done 
)
There’s a way to cut the time in the microwave but I haven’t tried that enough to get my timing down.
Thank you @ipsedixit and @Saregama for the tips! I’ll try another batch today so fingers crossed it doesn’t split.

Fall/autumn weather has become crazy in Cali.
BITD, hikes in Point Reyes were pretty nice and the sunsets spectacular, but even in the early 70’s I can remember the sweltering hot, hot days and the smoke from the fires. No ‘spare the air’ days, then. Come Halloween, some kids would pass out during the school parades; those in the heavy bear and gorilla costumes had it bad.
We’ll never forget the Hills Fire of '91. 
Spring was always my favorite time in the BA.

I felt well enough today to improvise rice porridge out of leftover cooked white rice and BTB. I added sliced deli ham, a packet of preserved mustard greens, and some ginger before eating. Not too bad, but it did lead to a nap.

Naps are good! And porridge can be comforting when you aren’t feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.

Today’s lunch was a tomato sandwich. I live on them during the summer and even though the temperature has cooled down I am still in denial. Only three weeks until the end of CSA season
