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. Beat the eggs
    In a medium bowl, gently beat the eggs with chopsticks or a fork. You don't want to overmix - just enough to combine the whites and yolks while keeping some texture.
  3. Cook the eggs
    Heat vegetable oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently with chopsticks or a spatula. Cook until the eggs are just set but still soft and slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the sauce
    Pour the prepared sauce over the eggs and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs absorb some of the sauce but are still soft and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the donburi
    Divide the warm rice between two serving bowls. Spoon the egg mixture over the rice, including some of the sauce. The hot rice will absorb the extra sauce.
  6. Garnish and serve
    Sprinkle with sliced green onions, nori strips if using, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.
