Steps

1. Prepare the broth5 min
Before you begin, cook some white rice, as it will serve as the base for your dish. In a small skillet, combine the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar; add the onion and cook over medium heat until tender, about 4 minutes.
2. Cook the chicken7 min
Add the diced chicken and cook until it is thoroughly cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F), about 6–7 minutes.
3. Add the egg2 min
Pour the beaten egg evenly over the chicken and onion; cover and cook over low heat until the egg sets to your liking.
4. Serve2 min
Scoop the contents of the skillet onto a bowl of hot rice, and garnish with green onions.

Substitutions & variations

Would you rather use chicken breast? It works, although it's a little less juicy than the thigh.
Substitute dashi with concentrated fish stock dissolved in water or a light chicken broth.
Substitute mirin by mixing dry white wine or sake with sugar or honey.
