    Cuisine Asian, Japanese
    Servings 4 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 1-1½ lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs
    • 2 small onions sliced
    • 2 c chicken stock or dashi
    • ¼ c soy sauce or more to taste
    • 1 tablespoon sugar or more to taste
    • 4 large eggs lightly beaten
    • 4 c cooked rice to serve

    Optional Toppings for Garnish

    • green onion, sesame oil, nori, and / or togarashi

    Instructions
     

    • Combine chicken, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a bowl and set aside for 5-10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
    • In a small pan, bring chicken stock to a boil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the chicken mixture and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
    • When the chicken is almost cooked through, pour the egg mixture evenly into the pan and cook for a few seconds until the edges are nearly set.
    • Lightly scramble the eggs and cook for a few seconds more until the eggs are still a bit runny - the residual heat will continue to cook the eggs. Serve over a bowl of rice, garnish and enjoy!

    Notes

    I recommend cooking the rice with slightly less water to pair with the chicken and eggs, as it will absorb the remaining broth.
    Whisking the eggs until it is about 70-80% mixed through will ensure that it is soft and silky in texture but not like scrambled eggs.
