This recipe really is simple. It's light tasing and delightful to boot.I do not add any salt to this recipe for two reasons.1. I use salted broth anyway so I don't feel the need.2. Adding salt when using cornstarch can result in the dish actually NOT thickening up properly. Especially if the salt is added after the cornstarch.

In this tamagotoji, I use tofu and onion, which are cooked with the dashi stock (dashi and soy sauce, sake, sugar and so on) and finished with beaten eggs poured over it. Besides this, Katsu-don (a bowl of rice topped with pork cutlet), Oyako-don (topped with chicken and egg), Ten-don(topped with tempura) are also served in the same way as this tamagotoji in many places.

I don't really like boiled gyoza, but I was intrigued by a commercial for soup gyoza I saw on TV, so I decided to add it to egg drop soup.There are only 4 gyoza in each serving, but swirling in the egg makes it a filling soup.After adding the egg, swirl the soup with chopsticks gently!Adding sesame oil makes it smell even better!We always buy gyoza that doesn't have a lot of garlic or garlic chives in it, so the seasoning is just right for us.Adjust the seasoning to your liking.

I wanted to pair the flavor of the shio-kombu with soup and beaten egg.There's really nothing special to it, but you should adjust the taste as it'll depend on the salt content of the umeboshi.You could also make the dashi stock with 600 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of dashi stock granules.

I used to use powdered dashi stock, but thought I could make an egg drop soup with shiro-dashi.I used shiro-dashi that instructed the use of a ratio of 1 part shiro-dashi to 9 parts water for making the clear soup in this recipe.Adjust the ratio of shiro-dashi to water depending on the kind of shiro-dashi you use.( Refer to the instructions on the bottle of shiro-dashi for clear soup.)

Most of us have had egg drop soup at a Chinese restaurant. I find the soup comforting but usually very thick and somewhat bland. I think this recipe is an improvement.

Played with a simple recipe and came up with this.

My dad spent a long time in Vietnam while in the military and absolutely loved the people and their food. When I would be home from school sick he would come home at lunch and make me egg drop soup. I can still see him in his green fatigues standing at the stove. Oh how I miss him. I pour my eggs a little faster because I like the chunks lol

I was given this recipe when I was suffering an awful stomach bug. It worked wonders and it is an inexpensive meal.

You can add any kind of vegetable with miso soup. You could add tofu into this one if you like😋

Work in progress

When family wants egg drop soup I say no need to go out. This whips up quick and easy. You can enjoy it in original style or add anything like cooked shredded chicken, corn, peas. You are the chef and cooking artist. You create your own versions!
