About the Recipe
Here's how to make your tofu into a complete, nourishing one bowl dish. As you can see form the "how to" section below, I make the topping for this dish in two batches - one for each bowl - but if you wish to save some time, you can always make it all in one and divide into two when you serve.
Ingredients
1 packet of soft tofu (300g)
1 onion (120g)
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tbsp japanese cooking sake
80ml japanese dashi stock
2 tbsp sugar*
3 large eggs, beaten
450g cooked rice
15g rocket for a garnish
* this is ment to be quitea sweet dish - if you prefer it less sweet , just reduce the amount of sugar to 1 tbsp
Preparation
thinly slice the onion
halve the tofu lengthways and cut into 1cm slices
make the toppings individually for this dish:
put 1/2 the onion in a small pan, add 1/2 the sugar, 1/2 the dashi stock, 1/2 the sake, 1/2 the soy sauce. cook for 2 minutes
next, add 1/2 the tofu. cook for 3 minutes with the lid on, occasionally spooning some of the sauce over the tofu
add 1/2 of the beaten egg over the tofu and cook with the lid on for 1 minute or until the egg has almost cooked but is still a little bit runny
to serve:
put 1/2 the cooked rice in a bowl and slide the tofu & egg mixture over the top
now repeat for your second serving
when your bowls are ready, garnish with the rocket
