Eggs are scrambled with snow peas and yuba (dried tofu skin) in dashi broth flavoured with soy sauce, mirin and sake. It is very quick to make, and the flavour is quite light. Perfect as a side dish or a light main dish.
Unlike the Western style scrambled eggs, it does not use butter or oil. It's a healthy scrambled eggs.

1. Instead of snow peas, you can use other green vegetables such as chopped spinach, green beans, burdock, etc.
2. Please refer to my post Dried Tofu Skin Soup Two Ways for more details about yuba. Instead of yuba, you could use tofu or aburaage.
3. There should still be sauce left in the port and you should be able to see it around the egg. See the photos in the post.
4. The ingredients to be cooked with the eggs can be any vegetables, tofu products with/without meat as long as they go well with eggs and the soy sauce flavour.
5. Nutrition per serving as a side. It assumes all the broth will be consumed but in reality some of it will not be consumed.
