Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and minced garlic. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the sliced bell peppers, carrot strips, and mushrooms and sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. In the same pan or wok, heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Step 4: Cook the Eggs

In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, soy sauce, and mirin. Heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until set. Flip the egg over and cook for another minute on the other side. Remove from heat and slice into thin strips.

Step 5: Assemble the Donburi

To assemble the donburi, place a serving of hot cooked rice in a bowl. Top with the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and sliced egg. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
