Japanese Oyakodon

A bowl of rice topped with chicken and onion simmered in dashi, soy, mirin, sake, and sugar, then finished with egg. Serves 4; preparation times are estimates.

Oyakodon combines chicken and egg over hot rice. In this version, the egg is added in two batches so it stays tender and slightly wobbly. Have the Japanese rice cooked before you begin.
