Step 1
Whisk eggs with dashi and a small pinch of salt until pale and smooth, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Pour egg mixture into a 10-inch skillet. Cover with foil and steam over medium heat for 6–7 minutes, until surface is just set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Step 3
Slide custard onto a cutting board. Tear into soft chunks with two forks or a spoon.
Step 4
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with egg custard.
Step 5
Heat soy sauce and butter in the same skillet over medium until fragrant, ~90 seconds. Drizzle over egg.
Step 6
