Ingredients:
- Chicken thighs – 300g
- Onion – 1
- Eggs – 2–3
- Sake (or white wine) – 1 tbsp
- Mirin – 2 tbsp
- Sugar – 1 tbsp
- Soy sauce – 2 tbsp
- Water – 100ml
- Cooked Japanese rice – 2 bowls
- Optional: Spring onion, shichimi
Quick Steps:
- Cut onion and chicken.
- In a pan: add water, sake (or white wine), mirin, sugar → bring to boil.
- Add onion, cook till soft → add chicken → simmer to let the flavour soak in.
- When chicken is fully cooked, add soy sauce at the end to avoid overpowering the broth.
- For fluffy eggs per serving, ladle 1 portion into a small frying pan.
- Lightly beat eggs (don’t overmix!). Pour half the egg mixture over the simmered chicken and onion, cover for 30 seconds.
- Then pour the rest of the egg, cover again for 30–60 seconds more until soft and silky (not fully set).
- Slide it over a bowl of hot rice. Garnish with spring onion or shichimi if you like!
