Method

Combine the kombu dashi, soy sauce, mirin and caster sugar in a frying pan and bring to a simmer.
Add the sliced onion and simmer for 4 minutes until softened.
Add the tofu pieces and simmer for 4 minutes until infused with the sauce.
Pour half the beaten egg evenly over the tofu and onion, cover, and cook for 1 minute until just beginning to set.
Pour over the remaining egg, cover again, and cook for 1 minute more until softly set but still a little runny.
Slide the tofu and egg mixture onto bowls of rice and scatter with sliced spring onion.
