Rinse jasmine or sushi rice(300 g) under cold water until the water runs almost clear — this removes excess starch and keeps the rice from clumping. Cook according to package instructions.
Step 02 of 06
Cut the chicken and onion
500 g
2 szt
Cut boneless skinless chicken thighs(500 g) into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm. Slice onion(2 szt) into thin wedges.
Tip
Thighs work better than breast here — they stay juicy and have more flavour. Breast turns dry in this dish.
Step 03 of 06
Make the sauce with onion
60 ml
200 ml
2 łyżka
3 łyżka
2 szt
In a 24 cm cm pan combine water(200 ml), soy sauce(60 ml), mirin (sweet rice wine)(3 łyżka) and sugar(2 łyżka). Add onion(2 szt) and simmer over medium heat for about 4 minutes until the onion softens.
Step 04 of 06
Add the chicken
500 g
Add boneless skinless chicken thighs(500 g) to the sauce in a single layer. Simmer for 6-8 minutes over medium heat, flipping once, until cooked through.
Tip
The chicken should braise in the sauce, not fry. The sauce should bubble gently, not boil hard.
Step 05 of 06
Pour in the eggs
5 szt
Crack eggs(5 szt) into a bowl and stir briefly with a fork just to combine — whites and yolks should still be visible separately, do not beat them like an omelette. Pour the eggs evenly over the pan, cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Tip
The eggs should stay slightly runny — this is not an omelette but a soft, creamy topping. If they set hard, the dish loses its character.
Step 06 of 06
Serve
300 g
3 szt
Divide jasmine or sushi rice(300 g) between four bowls. Spoon the chicken and egg with the pan sauce over the rice. Sprinkle with sliced spring onion(3 szt).
Bon appétit
