Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 80g butter
  • 2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 4 boned and skinned chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 100g shiitake mushrooms, destemmed and thinly sliced
  • 200ml dashi or chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • shichimi togarashi, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, then add the onions and cook until they soften and brown – about 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and mushrooms, and cook for another five to 10 minutes, until these brown as well.
  • Pour in the stock, soy, mirin and sugar, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the liquid reduces and coats the chicken.
  • Lower the heat and crack in the eggs. Break the yolks and stir gently. When cooked to a semi-scrambled consistency, take off the heat.
  • Scoop the rice into deep bowls, top with the chicken and egg mixture, and garnish with spring onions and chilli powder.
