Ingredients

1 cup
short-grain white rice
1 cup
low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp.
soy sauce
2 Tbsp.
mirin
1 tsp.
sugar
1
medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/4 lb.
boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4
scallions, thinly sliced, divided
4
large eggs
Togarashi, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Cook rice per package directions.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, in large skillet, bring to a boil chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add onion and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook, flipping occasionally, until just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in scallions, reserving 1/4 cup dark scallion greens.
3. Step 3In small bowl, lightly beat eggs until whites and yolks are marbled but not completely incorporated. Carefully drizzle eggs in single layer over chicken. Cover and cook until eggs are just set, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve over bowls of rice topped with reserved scallions and togarashi if desired.
