Tamago Zosui (卵雑炊) is rice porridge or risotto cooked with eggs. This mild tasting simple food is great at any time, but especially good when having no appetite or trying to avoid heavy foods.
Zosui is often made after eating Nabemono hot pot using the flavorful leftover broth seasoned with soy sauce and sake with rice, and that’s the end of the meal. That’s the easiest time to make it, but you can also cook this Tamago Zosui itself easily when you use instant Dashi or Dashi packet. Because there are no vegetables or meat in the dish, only rice and egg, it can be cooked very fast. You can make Tamago Zosui at a moment’s notice.
This is a perfect dish when feeling under the weather. And also it is great if you’re on a diet after eating too much rich food over the holidays. Try some easy and warm Tamago Zosui tomorrow!
