tofu

🥗Healthier: edamame

💰Cheaper: canned chickpeas

Edamame provides protein with fewer calories.

dashi stock

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with soy sauce

Vegetable broth is a lighter option with similar umami.

Prep the ingredients: Cut the cabbage and aburaage into thick strips. Beat the egg in a small bowl.

In a medium pot, add the cabbage, aburaage, dashi powder, mirin, soy sauce, and water. Heat over medium heat until it starts to boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

Slowly pour in the beaten egg while gently stirring the soup. Simmer for another minute or until the egg is cooked through.

Pour into bowls and serve warm!
