A comforting and simple Japanese rice bowl featuring tender chicken and softly cooked egg simmered in a savory-sweet dashi-based sauce, served over steamed rice.
Instructions
- 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.
