Ingredients:

1 cup cooked white rice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons mirin (sweet cooking sake)

1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 eggs, beaten lightly

4 ounces boneless chicken thigh or breast, cut into small cubes

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Cooking Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin and sugar and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

Pour in the soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and stir gently to combine with the other ingredients. Cook for 1 minute until just set but still slightly runny.

Serve over cooked white rice and enjoy!
