Directions

25 min
  1. 1

    Blanch 2 slices of aburaage in boiling water to remove excess oil. Cut each in half, then gently open the cut end to form a pouch.

  2. 2

    Crack 4 eggs into separate small bowls, then carefully pour one egg into each aburaage pouch. Seal the opening with a toothpick to secure the shape.

  3. 3

    Add all ★ seasonings to a pot and bring to a boil. Add the egg-filled pouches, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes.

Tips

Simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes to let the broth soak thoroughly into the aburaage for the best flavor.
