Speedy Japanese Chicken & Egg Donburi
This simple and satisfying Japanese Chicken & Egg Donburi recipe brings together tender chicken and gently cooked egg, all simmered in a rich dashi broth and served atop perfectly fluffy rice. It's an ideal, fulfilling meal that's ready in under 30 minutes.
Let's cook.
In a small skillet or shallow pan (about 8-inch diameter), combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the simmering sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, arranging them in a single layer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Gently pour the lightly beaten eggs evenly over the chicken and onions. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in the center.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Divide the cooked rice into two serving bowls.
Carefully slide half of the chicken and egg mixture over the rice in each bowl.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onion before serving immediately.
