Ingredients
- 200 g mountain yam ((note 1))
- 2 quail eggs ((note 2))
- 1 tsp aonori ((optional, note 3))
- Soy sauce
Instructions
- 1
Peel and grate mountain yam (note 4), then transfer it into small serving bowls.
- 2
Using a spoon or chopsticks, make a small dent in the centre of the grated yam in each bowl so that an egg, particularly the yolk, will stay on top.
- 3
Crack a quail egg and put it in the dent. It’s ok if egg white spills out, as long as the yolk is in the middle.
- 4
Sprinkle aonori over and serve with soy sauce.
- 5
To eat it, pour some soy sauce over, mix with the yam and the egg together (note 5).
