Chilled Clear Soup with Okra

 

Ingredients (Serves 2)

Okra: 3 pods | Salt: 1/2 tsp

Soft-boiled eggs (onsen tamago): 2

<Seasoned Dashi Broth>

Dashi stock: 400 ml

Soy sauce: 1 1/2 tsp

Mirin: 1/2 tsp

Salt: A pinch

[Preparation]

Place the okra on a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and lightly roll them with your palm to remove the fine fuzz (a process called *itazuri*). Rinse with water, trim off the stem ends (calyxes), and slice into rounds.

[Instructions]

1. Combine the <Seasoned Dashi Broth> ingredients and the okra in a pot. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let it cool. Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator.

2. Crack the soft-boiled eggs into serving bowls and pour the mixture from step (1) over them.
