Ingredients | Yakitori Chicken Skewer Rice Bowl

1 cup water

½ cup uncooked white rice

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

1 tablespoon sake (Japanese rice wine)

1 ½ teaspoons white sugar

salt to taste

4 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

⅓ bitter melon - halved lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced

¼ onion, thinly sliced

2 eggs, beaten

2 (1/4 inch thick) slices myoga (Japanese ginger), or to taste

Directions

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Stir soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat well; cover. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Place bitter melon slices in a bowl of salted water. Let soak for 5 minutes. Drain.

Stir bitter melon and onion into the chicken mixture.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on medium heat for 4 minutes. Uncover; pour in eggs. Cover bowl and cook until eggs are set, about 2 minutes. Remove from microwave; let stand for 2 minutes. Uncover and stir. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Divide rice between 2 serving bowls. Top with chicken and egg mixture. Garnish with myoga.
