Step 1
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in eggs and cook for 6 minutes, then transfer to ice water.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add chicken and cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the bottom browns, then stir and cook 3 more minutes until no pink remains.
Step 4
Stir in soy sauce, ginger, and mirin. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken and smells fragrant.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Top with glazed chicken and sauce, then peel and halve a soft-boiled egg into each bowl.
Step 6
Garnish with sliced green onion or nori strips if desired. Serve immediately.
