This is a savory and sweet dish. The best of both worlds.
These are served in rice bowls typically with the chicken and egg dish on
top of the rice.
Best with a Wok because of its large capacity.
This recipe can be doubled, which makes sense since most chicken breast
sells at least a pound or more in size.
Most bags of Spinach are 10 oz too (essentially doubled).
So just double everything, but make sure you have enough pan space to
handle it (the 8 eggs and chicken will take up tons of space) and you
don't want anything to overflow.
I used a large fry pan instead of a wok once and some egg overflowed,
burnt on my stove top, and it took 20 minutes for the eggs to set instead
of 5 minutes. Still was good, but a mess.
Use a Wok for sure.
The mirin will be in the ethnic isle in your supermarket. If you cannot
find mirin, brown sugar is fine. Mirin is sweetened Sake (rice wine).
You can use baby spinach or regular spinach, from the bag.
Cook the rice separately as you normally would.
This recipe is easy, delicious, and makes 8 servings at least when
doubled. So you will have leftovers for lunch during the week or another dinner entirely. Japanese Chicken and Egg Donburi
1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil, divided
1 6 oz bag baby spinach leaves
1 medium onion, sliced
1/4 tsp salt, divided (optional)
2 tsp minced fresh ginger root (or ground)

4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c cooked brown rice (regular or instant)
Directions
Place a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Stir in 8 teaspoon salt. Add ginger and cook for 45 seconds.
Sprinkle chicken with remaining 8 teaspoon salt and add to wok with

minutes. Reduce heat to low.
In a small bowl, whisk together broth, soy sauce, and mirin; add to
wok. Stir in spinach and cook until mixture begins to bubble gently.
Pour eggs over top of chicken-spinach mixture; cover and cook until
