Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk eggs with dashi and a small pinch of salt until pale and smooth, ~1 minute.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Slide custard onto a cutting board. Tear into soft chunks with two forks or a spoon.

  4. Step 4

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with egg custard.

  5. Step 5

    Heat soy sauce and butter in the same skillet over medium until fragrant, ~90 seconds. Drizzle over egg.

  6. Step 6

    Slice scallions into 1-inch pieces. Scatter over top with sesame seeds and serve hot.
