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

  1. In a pot or frying pan, combine 130ml of Water and 2 tbsp of Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base).
  2. 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.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Stir gently, being careful not to break the tofu, and cook until thickened.
  7. Once thickened, add 15g (3 tbsp) of Tenkasu (Tempura Scraps). (Key Tip!) Adding tenkasu adds richness to the broth and increases satisfaction.
  8. Mix lightly, then increase heat to high and pour in the 2 beaten Eggs all at once.
  9. 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.
  10. Serve cooked rice (to taste) in donburi bowls and top with the prepared Tofu and Egg mixture.
  11. Sprinkle with Ichimi Togarashi (Chili Powder) (to taste) as desired, and top with scallions (to taste) in the center to complete the dish.
