Ingredients
- 300 g boneless chicken thighs
- 1/2 medium, thinly sliced onion
- 3 eggs
- 150 ml dashi stock
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sake(optional)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 cups cooked short-grain rice
- 2 tbsp, sliced green onion(optional)
- 1 tbsp nori strips(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the onion (about 10 minutes prep).
- 2
In a pan over medium heat, combine dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar; bring to a gentle simmer.
- 3
Add the onion and simmer 3 minutes, then add the chicken in a single layer and simmer 7-8 minutes until cooked through.
- 4
Lightly beat the eggs, keeping some texture. Pour two-thirds over the chicken and onion, cover, and cook 1-2 minutes until softly set.
- 5
Pour in the remaining egg, cover, and cook 30-45 seconds more so the top stays glossy and slightly runny.
- 6
Spoon the chicken and egg over hot rice in bowls, drizzle with remaining pan sauce, and top with green onion and nori. Serve immediately.
