Main Ingredients- 2 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 120g chicken breast
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1/2 onion
Seasoning and Broth Ingredients- 1 Tbsp katsuobushi dashi stock (tsuyu)
- 150ml water
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking sake (mirin)
- 1 tsp salt (or adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp katsuobushi dashi stock (tsuyu)
- 150ml water
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking sake (mirin)
- 1 tsp salt (or adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare a pot for making the rice bowl sauce. In the pot, combine 150ml of water, 2 Tbsp cooking sake, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp katsuobushi dashi stock, and 1 tsp salt. Stir well. This creates the flavorful base for your delicious sauce.
Step 2
Place the pot with the sauce mixture over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Once the sauce is simmering, add the thinly sliced 1/2 onion. Cook together for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent. This step helps the onion soften and release its natural sweetness.
Step 3
When the onion is about halfway cooked, add the chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 120g), to the pot. Stir gently to ensure the chicken is submerged in the sauce. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken breast is fully cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become tough. Check for doneness.
Step 4
Once the chicken is completely cooked, crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and whisk them lightly. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs over the chicken and onions in the pot. Reduce the heat to low at this point.
Step 5
After pouring the eggs, do not stir immediately. Turn off the heat right away and cover the pot with a lid. Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes. The residual heat will gently cook the eggs, making them wonderfully soft and tender.
Step 6
Serve 2 bowls of warm cooked rice. Spoon the tender chicken and soft, cooked eggs with the savory sauce generously over the rice. Your delicious chicken and egg over rice is ready! Enjoy your meal.
