Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chicken or dashi stock

  • In a bowl beat three eggs. Add your chicken broth and dashi and whisk until combined.
  • Strain your mixture through a sieve to get rid of any clumps.
  • In a shallow dish, lay down your sliced mushrooms. Pour your egg mixture until mostly covered.
