Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces

  • 1 onion, cut in half and sliced

  • 2 cups dashi stock, made with dashi powder

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 3 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 4 cups hot cooked white rice

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Pour in stock, then whisk in soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar; stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.

  3. Whisk eggs in a bowl until well-beaten, then pour into the hot stock mixture. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and steam until egg is cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  4. Divide rice among 4 deep soup bowls and top with equal amounts of the soup mixture.
