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.
Step 2
In another small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp sugar to make the sauce.
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.
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.
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.
Step 6
Serve the mixture over the 2 cups cooked rice and top with the 0.5 cup microgreens or sprouts.
Step 7
Optional: add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of chili oil for extra flavor.
