Tamago no Chakin Ni/卵の茶巾煮

My wife said she just didn't know what to make for supper tonight. After all, she decided to make tamago no chakin ni. This is an egg in abura age (deep-fried tofu) cut in half that is simmered in broth.
妻は今日の夕飯に何を作ったらいいか分からないと言いました。結局、卵の巾着煮を作りました。半分に切った油揚げに卵を入れ、出汁で煮たものです。

Besides this dish, mochi no chakin ni (rice cake in abura age) is also very popular.
この料理のほかに、餅の巾着煮もとても人気があります。
