Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Divide the cooked rice between two deep bowls.
In a small saucepan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Add the sliced onion to the simmering sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the saucepan. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Gently pour about two-thirds of the lightly beaten eggs over the chicken and onions. Cover the saucepan and cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg is mostly set but still a little soft.
Drizzle the remaining beaten egg over the top. Cover again for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the top layer of egg to cook to your desired doneness.
Carefully slide the entire contents of the saucepan over the rice in each bowl.
Garnish with chopped scallions and shichimi togarashi, if desired.
