Instructions

  1. Bring the 400 ml dashi to a boil in a pot over medium heat.
  2. Whisk the 2 eggs in a small bowl until yolks and whites are combined.
  3. Once the dashi boils, add the 200 g cooked rice, 1 tsp sake, 1 tsp mirin and 1 tbsp light soy sauce.
  4. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook with the lid slightly ajar, checking the consistency often.
  5. When the porridge reaches your desired consistency, pour in the whisked egg and cook 20-30 seconds without stirring.
  6. After 20-30 seconds, stir thoroughly to break up the egg and spread it through the rice. Remove from heat and divide into bowls.
  7. Top with 1 drizzle of sesame oil and 1 tbsp chopped green onion, or 2 tbsp kizami nori.
