Instructions
Preparation
- Let's do Aburanuki (油抜き)*1 first! In a bowl add Aburaage and warm water. Use chopsticks to remove oil of Aburanuki while stirring in the hot water.
Let's cook!
- Cut the Aburaage in half so it is is square in shape.
- Open the Aburaage and break an egg into the opening. Use a toothpick to close it as well as possible. Do the same for the other half.
- In a pot, add the Aburaage that you just made, water, dashi powder, sugar, sake, mirin, and soy sauce. Turn the heat to medium and bring it to a boil.
- Boil for 8 minutes. Please watch in order not to burn. Move it occasionally while cooking so the eggs will cook evenly.
Let's eat!
- After 8 minutes, turn the heat off and move them to a plate! It is an amazing side dish!
I do not see a measurement for the Dashi Powder.
