instructions
    1

    In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

    2

    Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of dashi powder and stir until dissolved.

    3

    Reduce the heat to low and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce along with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine.

    4

    In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them gently until the yolks and whites are combined.

    5

    In a slow, steady stream, pour the beaten eggs into the pot while stirring gently with chopsticks or a fork. This creates ribbons of egg in the soup.

    6

    Allow the soup to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft.

    7

    Turn off the heat and serve the soup hot, garnishing with chopped green onion on top.
