Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1.4 oz snow peas
- 2 large eggs (about 2.1 oz/60 g each, including shell)
- ⅓ cup dashi stock (Please refer to the linked page for instructions on how to make it. For plant-based options, see the pages on Kombu Dashi and Shiitake Dashi.)
- ½ Tbsp mirin
- ½ Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Snap off the ends of the snow peas and remove the strings running along the seams of each pod.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them.
- Add dashi, mirin, and soy sauce to a pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the snow peas and simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed, and cook until partially set but still loose. At this point, as the eggs start to set around the edges of the pot, it is best to occasionally push the cooked portions toward the center for even cooking.
- Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let it steam for a few minutes using the residual heat.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
