Krok za krokom

1. 1

   To make the broth, combine water, dried kelp, dried shiitake mushrooms, onion, and smashed garlic cloves in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.

   Približne 5 min

2. 2

   Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   Približne 15 min

   Poznámka kuchára: Avoid boiling the kelp for too long as it can make the broth bitter. Some cooks remove it after 10 minutes.

3. 3

   While the broth simmers, prepare the sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

   Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs to form a thin, flat omelet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until set.

   Poznámka kuchára: Using a large skillet helps create a thinner omelet which is easier to slice.

   Remove the egg omelet from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then roll it up and slice it into thin ribbons. Set aside.
