Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with a pinch of salt until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    In another small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp sugar to make the sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until soft and just set, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the sauce, and stir everything together for 1 minute until the sauce coats the chicken and eggs.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the mixture over the 2 cups cooked rice and top with the 0.5 cup microgreens or sprouts.

  7. Step 7

    Optional: add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of chili oil for extra flavor.
