How to Make Japanese Domburi Asian Cooking Recipe Cuisine

Recipe Makes for 4 Servings:

3 cups Dashi 

¼ cup good-quality soy sauce

¼ cup mirin or 2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons sake

¼ to ½ pound chopped boneless, skinless chicken or firm tofu

4 eggs

4 scallions, chopped

4 cups cooked short-grain rice, hot

½ sheet nori, lightly toasted , optional

Directions:

Combine the dashi in a medium saucepan with the soy sauce, mirin, and sake and bring to a boil. Lower the heat a bit, then add the chicken or tofu; adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 or 3 minutes.

Beat the eggs in a bowl with the scallions and add, slowly, to the bubbling mixture; let cook, undisturbed, until the eggs' edges are set, then stir once or twice. (The egg should not be fully set; it will finish cooking before you eat it.) 

Put the hot rice in 4 deep soup bowls and pour the soup over it. Crumble the nori and sprinkle it over the top if you're using it and serve.
