How to make it
1

The ratio is 2 eggs to 300cc of dashi

2

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with chopsticks while adding the dashi

3

Strain through a fine sieve. (Discard any egg cloudiness that remains in the sieve.)

4

Add salt and light soy sauce to the strained egg mixture and mix

5

Cut the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and place the cherry tomatoes and cheese in equal portions in a bowl

6

Gently pour the egg mixture into (5), being careful not to create air bubbles

7

Place the container in a steamer that is already steaming and steam over high heat for 1.5 to 2 minutes

8

If the surface turns white like this, it means the inside is cooked through

9

Reduce the heat to low, cover [8] with kitchen paper, put the lid on, and steam for another 15 minutes. At this time, insert a chopstick under the edge of the lid to create a vent for the steam.
(This prevents excessive pressure from building up inside the steamer and prevents air bubbles from forming.)

10

After 15 minutes, remove from the steamer and it's done.
(The cheese inside will be gooey and melted.)
