A delightful Japanese-inspired dish combining tender chicken, fluffy eggs, and flavorful rice.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
Cutting the chicken into uniform strips ensures even cooking.
Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water until softened, then slice them.
Using warm water speeds up the soaking process.
Slice the onion thinly.
A sharp knife makes slicing onions easier and safer.
In a skillet, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil.
Stir the sauce occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
Add the chicken, mushrooms, and onion to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is done and the onion is tender.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking its internal temperature.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, then pour them over the skillet mixture. Cover and cook until the eggs are set.
Covering the skillet helps the eggs cook evenly.
Serve the mixture over bowls of cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
