Beaten egg thickens the soup as in an egg drop soup. You can make the seasoned, toasted nori garnish to eat with the rice. Toast the sheets, cut them into quarters, and store them in an airtight container. If you're using vacuum-packed rice cakes, don't presoak them; cook for 10 minutes instead of 5.
