Ingredients
- about 450 g Chicken Thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Dashi Substitute (Chicken or Fish Broth)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In an approximately 25 cm skillet, combine the 1 cup Dashi Substitute (Chicken or Fish Broth), 2 tablespoons Mirin (Rice Wine), 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos (Soy Sauce Substitute), and 1 teaspoon Sugar. Bring this mixture to a simmer over medium heat, about 150°C.
- 2Add the 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced, to the simmering liquid. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion pieces are softened and translucent.
- 3Add the about 450 g Chicken Thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C.
- 4Lightly whisk the 4 large Eggs in a small bowl until the yolks and whites are just combined. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the chicken and onion mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft and glossy on top.
- 5Spoon 1 cup of the Cooked Rice into each of four serving bowls. Top the rice in each bowl with an equal portion of the chicken and egg mixture from the skillet.
- 6Garnish the bowls with the 2 tablespoons Green Onions, chopped, and serve immediately.
