A budget-friendly Tofu and Egg Donburi made in just 10 minutes for 70 yen. Using silken tofu broken with a spoon helps it absorb flavor, while tenkasu (tempura scraps) add richness. Topped with a perfectly runny soft-boiled egg, this dish is incredibly satisfying with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Silken Tofu 1 block (300g)
- Tenkasu (Tempura Scraps) 15g (3 tbsp)
- Slurry (Potato Starch 1 tsp + Water 2 tsp)
- Eggs 2
- Cooked Rice (to taste)
Seasonings
- [A] Water 130ml
- [A] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 2 tbsp
- Ichimi Togarashi (Chili Powder) (to taste)
- Scallions (to taste)
Steps
- In a pot or frying pan, combine 130ml of Water and 2 tbsp of Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base).
- Add 1 Silken Tofu block (300g) to the pan, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with a spoon. (Key Tip!) Breaking it with a spoon instead of cutting it with a knife helps it absorb flavor better and improves the texture.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- After simmering for 5 minutes and ensuring the tofu is heated through, drizzle in the slurry (1 tsp Potato Starch + 2 tsp Water) all over.
- Stir gently, being careful not to break the tofu, and cook until thickened.
- Once thickened, add 15g (3 tbsp) of Tenkasu (Tempura Scraps). (Key Tip!) Adding tenkasu adds richness to the broth and increases satisfaction.
- Mix lightly, then increase heat to high and pour in the 2 beaten Eggs all at once.
- After pouring in the eggs, turn off the heat after about 3 seconds and stir everything together gently without breaking the tofu. It's ready when it reaches a runny, soft-boiled consistency.
- Serve cooked rice (to taste) in donburi bowls and top with the prepared Tofu and Egg mixture.
- Sprinkle with Ichimi Togarashi (Chili Powder) (to taste) as desired, and top with scallions (to taste) in the center to complete the dish.
