For a richer flavor, use dashi broth instead of chicken broth. Feel free to add other vegetables like bamboo shoots or snow peas for added texture and nutrients. Adjust the amount of sugar and soy sauce to your liking. Do not overcook the eggs. They should be slightly soft and creamy. To prevent the chicken from drying out, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking. For a more authentic presentation, serve in individual donburi bowls. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds adds a nice nutty flavor.
