10-Minute Japanese Egg Drop Soup (Kakitamajiru) with Dashi

Silky Japanese egg drop soup comes together in just 10 minutes, with delicate egg ribbons floating in a warm, umami-rich dashi broth. Kakitamajiru is the kind of quick comfort food that works for busy mornings, light lunches, or chilly evenings when you want something soothing and simple.

The recipe starts by seasoning dashi with soy sauce and salt, then adding sliced Japanese leek for extra flavor. A quick starch slurry thickens the soup so the eggs stay suspended instead of sinking, and the transcript shows how to pour the beaten eggs in gradually for soft, silky ribbons. A final garnish of green onions and optional shichimi togarashi gives the bowl a fresh finish and a little heat.
