Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 4 large eggs The base of the dish providing protein and a custardy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar Balances the savory elements and adds a hint of sweetness.
For the Miso Mixture
  • 2 teaspoons white miso paste Infuses the eggs with umami flavor; red miso can replace it for a deeper taste.
  • 2 teaspoons water Helps create a smooth mixture; switch it for soy milk for a dairy-free option.
For the Cooking
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil Adds a nutty flavor; can substitute with vegetable oil but won't have the same depth.
  • 1 pinch shichimi togarashi Adds heat and flavor nuance; chili flakes can replace it or it can be omitted entirely.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • nonstick frying pan
  • Whisk
  • silicone spatula

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Crack the four large eggs into a medium bowl, and add the teaspoon of white sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined, ensuring no white streaks remain.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the two teaspoons of white miso paste with the two teaspoons of water. Mix until the miso is completely dissolved.
  3. Pour the miso mixture into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Stir gently until well blended and uniform in texture.
  4. Place a nonstick frying pan over low heat. Add the toasted sesame oil and let it warm for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour the egg and miso mixture into the warm pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. As the edges set, use a silicone spatula to gently stir the eggs, folding from the edges into the center for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Once cooked to perfection, transfer the eggs to a warm plate. If desired, sprinkle with shichimi togarashi and serve immediately.
