I wanted to create spring-like dishes to enjoy the season.

If you don't like the beans and sausage slices sinking down to the bottom, place them when the egg mixture starts to set. Ensure that small air bubbles aren't formed in the egg mixture by checking how set the egg mixture is occasionally. If you use mentsuyu add only 1 tablespoon first and check the taste. If you need more, add more. Recipe by Asamato
