Domburi
- 3 cups Dashi (page 162)
- 1/4 cup good-quality soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin or 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1/4 to 1/2 pound chopped boneless, skinless chicken or firm tofu
- 4 eggs
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 4 cups cooked short-grain rice (page 507), hot
- 1/2 sheet nori, lightly toasted (page 121), optional
- Combine the dashi in a medium saucepan with the soy sauce, mirin, and sake and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat a bit, then add the chicken or tofu; adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl with the scallions and add, slowly, to the bubbling mixture; let cook, undisturbed, until the eggs edges are set, then stir once or twice.
- (The egg should not be fully set; it will finish cooking before you eat it.)
- Put the hot rice in 4 deep soup bowls and pour the soup over it.
- Crumble the nori and sprinkle it over the top if youre using it and serve.
- In step 1, you may use water instead of dashi (though dashi is still preferable).
- Add the seasonings, then 1 thinly sliced carrot, 1 thinly sliced onion, 4 thinly sliced fresh shiitake mushroom caps, and, if you like, a few leaves of spinach.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
- Add the tofu and proceed.
