Transcript

Instruction text: “STEP 2. Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl. Tap them on the flat counter, not the edge, to avoid shell bits.” “Cut through the whites with chopsticks in a side-to-side zigzag, tips touching the bottom of the bowl.” “Don’t whip in air. Bubbles make holes in the layers. About 30 seconds is enough.” “Pour in the seasoned dashi and mix gently. Strain it through a sieve if you want an extra smooth finish.”

A woman in a cream top and rose apron cracks eggs, stirs them in a bowl with chopsticks, and pours in seasoned dashi in a kitchen.
