- egg 1~2 pieces
- green onion a little
- chives or lettuce a little
- soy sauce or dark soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon
- salt a little
- black pepper a little
- MSG (monosodium glutamate) a little
- sesame oil 1/2 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- Prepare finely chopped green onions and slice chives or lettuce into appropriate sizes.
- Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil, then add a small amount of soy sauce to give it a light golden hue.
- Add salt, black pepper, and MSG to adjust the base seasoning and enhance the savory flavor.
- When the water is boiling vigorously, slowly pour in the beaten eggs in a circular motion to create soft egg ribbons.
- Once the eggs float up, add the prepared green onions and vegetables, then reduce the heat.
- Finish by drizzling sesame oil around the surface for a rich, aromatic touch.
- Add soy sauce to water to color it, then bring to a boil.
- Season with salt, pepper, and MSG.
- When the water boils, gently pour in beaten eggs in a continuous line.
- Add green onions and vegetables, then finish with sesame oil.
Cooking tips 💡
- Use soy sauce primarily to color the broth—add only a few drops until the broth turns a light yellowish-brown, then stop.
- Do not stir immediately after adding the eggs; wait until they gradually rise to prevent cloudiness and keep the broth clear.
- Adding enoki mushrooms enhances texture and adds depth to the dish.
