• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon

Steps

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, silken tofu, dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and salt until smooth and well combined.
3. Grease a small baking dish with sesame oil and pour the egg and tofu mixture into the dish.
4. Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions on top of the mixture.
