Add the sliced rice cakes and soy sauce to the boiling broth. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice cakes are tender.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with a pinch of salt. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and make thin omelets. Once cooked, roll them up and slice into thin strips.
