Fast Chicken and Egg Oyakodon
  1. 1

    Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan; lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in the soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Heat several tablespoons of the chicken sauce in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and shiitake mushrooms in the sauce until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken, green onions, and a few more tablespoons of the sauce; continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more.

  5. 5

    Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the skillet; pour the beaten egg over the top. Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle with the snow peas. Cook and stir until the egg firms and is no longer runny, about 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Divide the rice between two bowls and spoon the egg mixture evenly on top. Pour additional chicken sauce over the rice to serve.
