vegetable stock seasoned with garlic, ginger and soy sauce (sometimes miso), in which chicken and mushrooms are cooked; it is poured boiling over cooked noodles in a bowl and topped with a halved egg, green onions, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Pareve version: Vegetable stock.

⚙ SimmeringStove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
4
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end.
Ice bath
💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.
