Instructions
- 1
Combine dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a wide skillet or individual oyakodon pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Add chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook 4–5 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has reduced slightly.
- 3
Pour beaten eggs over the chicken and onion mixture in a thin, even stream. Do not stir — let the eggs flow between the chicken pieces. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for just 60–90 seconds until the eggs are set at the edges but still glossy and slightly runny in the center. The residual heat will continue cooking them.

Immediately slide the entire mixture over a bowl of hot steamed rice. Garnish with mitsuba or green onion and a sprinkle of togarashi. The key is serving while the egg is still slightly underdone — it will finish cooking on the rice.
