This recipe is very Japanese dish, like one of the Japanese kaiseki. Simmered in lightly seasoned broth for a little bit longer time (about 20 ~ 30 mins) with a low heat. Eat with the thickened broth. For your taste, when thickening, you can add a small quantity of sake and soy sauce. It's also good to have cool tofu with warm thickened broth.
