Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Tofu 150g
- Eggs 2
- Imitation Crab Sticks 6
- Green Onions 2 stalks
- Tempura Bits 2 tbsp
Seasonings
- [A] Soy Sauce 1 tsp
- [A] Salt a pinch
- [B] Water 5 tbsp
- [B] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
- [B] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [B] Sugar 1 tsp
- [B] Dashi Powder 1/2 tsp
- [C] Potato Starch 1 tsp

Steps
- In a bowl, place the tofu (150g) and mix with a whisk until it becomes a paste.
- To the tofu paste, add the 2 eggs, 1 tsp soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine the eggs.
- Cut the 6 imitation crab sticks in half, then shred them using the side of a knife and add to the bowl.
- Finely chop 2 green onions. Set aside a small portion for garnish. Add the rest to the bowl along with 2 tbsp tempura bits and mix.
- Line a serving bowl with plastic wrap, then pour half of the mixed ingredients into it.
- Cover the top with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes.
- After microwaving, let it rest for 1-2 minutes for the center to cook through. (Key Tip!) If you want to make larger portions, line a bigger bowl with plastic wrap, pour in the ingredients, and adjust the microwaving time to 4-5 minutes at 600W.
- In a separate bowl, combine 5 tbsp water, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine), 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp dashi powder. Microwave at 600W for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.
- Prepare a slurry by mixing 1 tsp potato starch with 2 tsp water.
- While stirring the warmed gravy base, gradually add the potato starch slurry.
- After adding the potato starch slurry, microwave at 600W for 1 minute.
- During microwaving, take it out once to stir and heat until thickened without lumps.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the cooked egg cups and plate them.
- Pour half of the prepared gravy over each egg cup.
- Sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onions.
