japanese cookbook + leftovers

i think i just invented a new dish.

using a japanese cookbook and leftover ingredients i came up with a good-tasting dish for dinner.

1 cup dashi (i have ajinomoto powder packs of hondashi. i dissolved 1 stick pack in 1 cup of water)
1/4 cup soy sauce (i used kikkoman all-purpose soy sauce)
3 tablespoons mirin (i have a bottle i got from an asian grocery somewhere in greenhills)

about 3/4 cup of sliced leeks (i used all i have from the vegetable bin in the refrigerator)
4 pieces of chicken wings
1 fresh egg, lightly beaten (the original recipe asked for 4 but i'm totally scrounging around here)

i boiled the dashi, soy sauce and mirin. while boiling i put in the chicken and let it boil/simmer for about 4-5 minutes so the chicken will cook.

then i added the leeks and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

then i added the lightly beaten egg, turning off the heat so the egg will cook on the remaining heat instead.

yummy! especially over fresh-cooked gohan!

i ate my dinner while watching Trinity Blood, and getting drunk on sparkling red grape juice.
