HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium saucepan, combine the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

02

While the broth simmers, lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl.

03

Add the cubed silken tofu to the simmering broth and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to warm through.

04

Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth, stirring gently with chopsticks or a fork to create soft, fluffy curds. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still moist.

05

Divide the savory egg and tofu mixture into two serving bowls.

06

Garnish each bowl generously with chopped scallions and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of white pepper or a few drops of sesame oil to the broth. Adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your preference.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have dashi, a good quality vegetable broth works well. Firm tofu can be used instead of silken, but it will have a different texture. For a richer flavor, a splash of sake can replace some of the mirin.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture of the eggs and tofu may change upon reheating.
