00:00I'm Yutou, and today on Stachi, I'm going to show you how to make a quick and comforting
00:04Japanese version of egg drop soup we call Kakitama Juru in just 10 minutes.
00:09First, you will need to pour 500ml of dashi into a saucepan.
00:14You can use my recipe for homemade dashi, or if you want to save time, you could use
00:19dashi packets.
00:21Season that with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of salt.
00:25Then bring it to a boil over medium heat.
00:28This soup is quite subtle, but you can add more seasoning to taste if you like.
00:33While we wait for it to boil, I'm going to make a slurry.
00:37Add 1 tablespoon of potato starch and 1 tablespoon of water to a bowl and mix until smooth.
00:44This will thicken the soup and help the egg ribbons float.
00:48We'll also prepare the egg now, so crack 2 eggs into a container and whisk until the yolk
00:54and whites are combined.
01:01Once your broth is boiling, add about 30 grams of sliced Japanese leek or regular leek.
01:07Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the bubbles die down a bit before pouring in the slurry.
01:12I find this helps prevent the slurry from forming gummy lumps in the broth.
01:17Once it's mixed in, you can increase the heat once more.
01:27When the broth is boiling again, pour in your egg mixture 1 third at a time and let it firm
01:34up before adding the next third.
01:36Adding the egg will bring down the temperature of the soup a bit, which is why we add it little
01:41by little.
01:44Once it's all in, mix it with chopsticks to help break the egg apart, then take the pan
01:49off the heat.
01:50And we can dish it up.
01:55Because of the starch in the broth, the egg ribbons float evenly throughout the whole soup
02:00rather than sinking to the bottom.
02:06Add a few chopped green onions and some steamy toogarashi for a finishing touch.
02:15And that's it, delicious Japanese-style egg drop soup in 10 minutes or less.
02:20And great news, I've launched a free mobile app that makes following along with my recipes
