Ingredients
Units
- 1 1/4 cup (300 ml) dashi stock
- 3 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (20 g) oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
- 1 pack (450 g) silken tofu
- 2 slices of ginger
- 1 inch piece of beef fat (or any excess cut of meat/bone)
- 1 pack (450 g) silken or soft tofu
- 2 eggs
To serve
- 1-2 servings of cooked rice
- scallion
- tenkasu (fried tempura scraps)
- togarashi
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In the rice cooker combine dashi, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, and sugar.
- Add Ingredients: If using a 1 lb block of tofu, cut it in half and place it in the rice cooker along with the ginger slices. Add the beef fat (or meat/bone) for extra richness. Close the lid and start the regular rice cooking cycle.
- Add Eggs: Once the rice cooker finishes, carefully add the eggs (if using). Let them sit in the broth on the “keep warm” setting for 10–15 minutes, rotating them halfway through to ensure even marination.
- Serve: Spoon the tofu and rice into bowls. Top with scallions, tenkasu, and a sprinkle of togarashi. Enjoy!
