Prep the ingredients: Cut the cabbage and aburaage into thick strips. Beat the egg in a small bowl.
Simmer: In a medium pot, add the cabbage, aburaage, dashi powder, mirin, soy sauce, and water. Heat over medium heat until it starts to boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Add the Egg: Slowly pour in the beaten egg while gently stirring the soup. Simmer for another minute or until the egg is cooked through.
Serve: Pour into bowls and serve warm!
Notes
Aburaage: You can substitute aburaage with firm tofu.
Dashi Powder: For a plant-based option, use homemade kombu dashi or kombu dashi powder instead of regular dashi powder.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
