This is a budget-friendly Japanese dish made with chicken thigh and daikon radish. The chicken thigh, made tender with potato starch, is simmered in a flavorful dashi broth with plenty of grated radish and topped with scrambled egg. It's a satisfying dish that goes perfectly with rice, made with a simple bake-and-simmer process.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Thigh 250g (1 small piece)
  • Salt (a pinch)
  • Potato Starch 1 tbsp
  • Eggs 2
  • Daikon Radish 200g

Seasonings

  • [A] Water 3 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Peel and grate 200g of Daikon Radish.
  2. In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp Water, 1.5 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1.5 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 tsp Sugar, and 1 tsp Dashi Powder. Add the grated radish and mix well. (Key Tip! Mixing the grated radish with the seasonings beforehand helps the flavors meld better.)
  3. Crack and lightly beat 2 Eggs.
  4. Cut 250g of Chicken Thigh in half lengthwise, then slice into 1cm thick pieces. If the pieces are large, cut them into bite-sized portions.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of Salt over the cut chicken thigh and let it absorb.
  6. Coat the chicken thigh evenly with 1 tbsp Potato Starch. (Key Tip! Coating with potato starch makes the meat moist and tender.)
  7. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Place the potato starch-coated chicken thigh in the heated frying pan. Flip and cook until browned on both sides. (Key Tip! Since it will be simmered later, cooking it about 80% done is sufficient.)
  9. Pour the grated radish mixture (re-stirred) into the frying pan with the cooked chicken.
  10. Simmer over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
  11. Once the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has reduced to a thickened sauce, bring to a boil over high heat.
  12. Once boiling, pour in the beaten egg and stir gently, then immediately turn off the heat.
  13. Cover and let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the residual heat to cook the egg. This results in a fluffy, not overcooked egg. (Key Tip! Cooking with residual heat prevents the egg from becoming too firm and ensures a fluffy texture.)
  14. Transfer to a plate and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
