Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Dissolve the dashi powder in 200ml hot water, then mix in the soy sauce and mirin.

  2. 2

    Halve and thinly slice the onion. Slice the chicken thighs into 2cm pieces.

  3. 3

    Pour the dashi mixture into a wide frying pan, add the onion, and simmer for 4 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Lightly beat the eggs and pour over the chicken and onion mixture. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 2 minutes until the egg is just set but still silky.

  5. 5

    Spoon the rice into bowls and slide the chicken and egg topping over the rice. Garnish with sliced spring onions.
