① In a bowl, mix together egg, stock, salt, mirin, and soy sauce. Thinly slice the chicken and dress with soy sauce.

② Place chicken and equally divided mixture from ① into four bowls. If bubbles rise to the surface, scoop them out with a spoon (A).

③ Cover bowls with aluminum foil and steam in a steaming container over boiling water for 15-20 minutes (B).

④ Now, we’ll make the wakame sauce. In a pot, add stock, light soy sauce, and potato starch and mix together over low heat. After it thickens, add sliced wakame, remove from heat, and pour over bowls from ③.

Comic:

Caimie: Since fish people don’t eat meat or fish, our menu has wakame Brule… mozoku seaweed tart… kombu soufflé…

Um, we also have shellfish! There’s a scallop sandwich… shijimi clam pizza…

Luffy: Not shellfish! Meat!

Usopp: Anyway, let’s go to the mermaid café! Papague is there…
