Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs (Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.)
  • 1 teaspoon White Sugar (Balances the savory flavor of miso.)
  • 2 tablespoons White Miso Paste (Adds richness and umami to the dish.)
  • 2 tablespoons Water (Helps achieve a creamy texture.)
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil (Infuses a delightful nutty flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Shichimi Togarashi (Optional garnish for a spicy kick.)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon white sugar, 2 tablespoons white miso paste, and 2 tablespoons water until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Heat sesame oil: Add 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil to a cold nonstick frying pan, then place the pan over low heat to warm the oil gently without burning it.
  3. Add egg mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan with the warmed sesame oil, stirring gently to ensure the oil incorporates evenly.
  4. Let eggs begin to set: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to solidify.
  5. Fold the eggs: Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center forming large curds, continuing to fold rather than stir briskly.
  6. Continue cooking: Keep folding the eggs gently until they are mostly set but still creamy, about 4 minutes in total for the cooking process.
  7. Remove and serve: Take the pan off the heat to prevent overcooking and serve the miso scrambled eggs immediately, optionally garnished with 1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi for an added spicy kick.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
  • Cook on low heat to achieve creamy, custard-like scrambled eggs.
  • Toasted sesame oil adds a distinctive nutty aroma; substitute with regular sesame oil if needed.
  • White miso paste differs from darker miso varieties and provides a milder, sweeter umami flavor.
  • Optional shichimi togarashi garnish adds a subtle heat and vibrant color.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the eggs at their creamiest texture.
