Oyakodon Like Thing

I've been diving into relatively quick and easy Japanese style dishes lately. Some as comfort food, some because they're easy to scale for a single person.  And I do love me some rice bowls. This is pretty quick and easy but to make but it's also A LOT for one person.  Maybe scale it back a little if you don't want to power down on 1,200+ K/Cal in one sitting.

Equipment

• Chef's knife
• Smallish frying pan.
• 8" is a good size when cooking for one.
• 2 Coffee mugs
• Measuring Spoons
• Silicone spatula

Ingredients

Servings: 1

• 1 Boneless, skinless chicken thigh
• 3 Large eggs
• I sub in Egg Beaters to drive down caloric density.
• 1/4 White onion, sliced.
• 5 tbsp dashi broth
• Low sodium chicken broth will do in a pinch.
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• I go with the low sodium option, usually
• 1 tsp Sake
• Cheap sake works here.
• 1 tsp Mirin
• 1 tbsp Cooking oil (optional)
• Useful when you don't have a non-stick frying pan.  Avoid olive oil in this situation. Veg, canola, or peanut oil is good here.
• 1/4 tsp Furikake (optional)
• Garnish for serving.
• 1 tbsp sliced green onions (options)
• Garnish for serving.
• 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
• This is a rice bowl but rice is optional.  You could serve this over riced cauliflower or steamed broccoli.

Preparation

• Cube the chicken thigh, about 1" chunks, set it aside.
• In one coffee mug, mix dashi, soy, sake, mirin, and brown sugar, set it aside
• In the other coffee mug, beat three eggs together with chopsticks until well combined and smooth, set it aside
• Over medium-high heat, add cooking oil and onions to the frying pan.
• Cook the onions until they start to sweat, then add the chicken thigh. Continue to cook the onions (with chicken) until they start to brown.
• Add the dashi mix and continue to cook until the fluid level reduces a little. ~1 minute
• Even pour the egg mix over the chicken and onions, then cover the frying pan with a lid and let everything continue to cook for 1.5 - 2 minutes.
• To serve, carefully slide the cooked mass of goodness out of the frying pan onto a waiting bowl of rice.
• Remember that .5 cups rice I mentioned?  I like to use brown rice.
• Sprinkle with green onions and/or furikake if you're so inclined.
