Instructions

  1. Pour 500 ml dashi stock into a saucepan and mix in 1 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp salt. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil over a medium heat. (Taste test the broth at this point and add more soy sauce if necessary.)
  2. Once it starts to boil, add 30 g Japanese leek and reduce the heat to simmer.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp potato starch with 1 tbsp water to make a slurry.
  4. Drizzle the slurry into the broth and mix thoroughly.
  5. Crack 2 eggs into a pourable container and whisk until combined.

  7. Gently mix the soup a few times and then remove it from the heat.
  8. Pour into serving bowls and sprinkle with finely chopped green onions and Japanese chili powder (shichimi togarashi).
  9. Enjoy!
