Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 1/2 cups soy milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable or dashi broth
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the base: In a pot, combine the soy milk and broth and heat gently over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t reach a boil to prevent the soy milk from curdling.
- Add rice and simmer: Once warm, add the cooked rice into the pot and let it simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors and soften further.
- Season the soup: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly to infuse the broth with savory and nutty notes.
- Incorporate the egg: Slowly pour the beaten egg into the pot while stirring gently in a circular motion to create soft, delicate egg ribbons.
- Set the egg: Continue cooking the soup gently until the egg is fully cooked and set but still tender, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onion, and serve the soup warm for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Do not boil the soy milk as it may curdle and affect the texture of the soup.
- Leftover cooked rice works perfectly for this recipe, making it a great way to use up extras.
- For variation, try adding silken tofu, mushrooms, or other vegetables of your choice for added texture and nutrition.
