Cooking tips

  • Using the chicken skin can make the broth greasy and heavy, so it's best to remove it for a cleaner taste.
  • Dashi granules are key to achieving that unique Japanese umami flavor and are useful for various Japanese dishes.
  • Turning off the heat before adding the egg prevents it from overcooking, ensuring a moist and tender texture.
  • Since this is a donburi meant to be mixed with rice, the sauce should be slightly savory on its own to create a balanced flavor when combined with the rice.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy restaurant-quality donburi at home with ease.
  • Those who need a quick meal late at night or during busy times.
  • Those who want to learn how to make a simple and flavorful soy sauce-based dish using dashi.
