Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce
    In a small bowl, mix together dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Cook the chicken and onions
    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add chicken pieces and grated ginger, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Add the sauce
    Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and onions. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.
  4. Add the eggs
    Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny on top.
  5. Serve over rice
    Place a generous portion of hot cooked rice in each serving bowl. Spoon the chicken and egg mixture over the rice, making sure to include some of the flavorful sauce.
  6. Garnish and serve
    Sprinkle sliced green onions and strips of nori over each bowl. Serve immediately while hot.
