How to make Quick Tofu Hotpot
This is very quick, easy, and healthy!
1. cut up one block of silken tofu and put in a pot with 3/4 cup bonito, 3/4 cup water, 2 tbl soy, 1 tbl sake, and 1 tbl sugar.
2. Simmer for 5 min, while beating an egg.
3. After 5 min, pour the egg over the top, stir around a few times, turn off the heat and cover for 1 minute. (like making eggdrop soup) Top with spring onions and enjoy! (^ω^)

tranism saysHow cooked is the egg supposed to be? 1 min covered wasn't enough to cook my egg. Took nearly 5 minutes.

Papermoon saysIt's supposed to be cooked like it is in eggdrop soup. So beaten egg swirled into the simmering liquids should cook it right away! I will ammend the directions :)

annedn saysIs it okay if the bonito shavings aren't in the dish?...What could be an alternative?

Papermoon says
if you can't find bonito or don't have the dashi stock powder, you can add a dab of fish sauce with a pinch of sugar. (Just a little though! It's way more powerful than bonito is!)

jingjong saysI really like the simplicity of this recipe. I have a question: Is there a huge difference in taste when you use bonito vs. dashi no moto?
