Marinate
Sauce
Directions
Cook the rice in a rice cooker. Cut chicken thigh into bite size. Marinate with soy sauce and wine for at least 15 minutes.
Slice the onion.
Wait till rice is almost done. In a pan, heat the sauce (stock, water, mirin, wine, soy sauce and sugar) until bubbling. Add onion and chicken. Cook with medium heat for 5 minutes until sauce is reduced by 1/3. Adjust to taste.
Beat the eggs and add over the sauce. Turn to low heat and cover with lid. Cook for one more minutes until the eggs are half cooked.
Put rice in the serving bowl and put the chicken and egg sauce on top. Garnish with chopped spring onion and Japanese marinated ginger etc.
Recipe Note
I use chicken stock which is light and not very salty. If the flavour of your stock is very strong and salty, you may wish to adjust to taste (e.g. change to 75ml chicken stock and 25ml water instead).
