Believe it or not, soy sauce is a great accompaniment to eggs. When I was growing up, my mom made our eggs with soy sauce all the time. Whether it was scrambled, sunny side, or even raw (a very famous Japanese breakfast served over rice), it always had soy sauce in it!
In Japan, traditional scrambled eggs will almost always contain soy sauce which gives eggs more depth and flavor than typical salt, pepper, butter. The idea is to flavor the eggs so that you wouldn’t have to put sauces on it such as ketchup or Tabasco after cooking.
Now, I’m sure many of you have grown up eating your scrambled eggs with ketchup. Don’t get me wrong, I do love an occasional scrambled egg made pretty bland then smothered with ketchup! However, now being low-carb/keto, ketchup went out and soy sauce came back in! I find it’s a great addition to the standard salt/butter and super easy to make!
Since eggs are pretty much the most popular breakfast ingredient in low-carb/keto cooking, you can never get enough different ways to make eggs so do yourself a favor and check out this delicious way to make Japanese Scrambled Eggs!
