Chicken Domburi has always been a favourite of mine. It all happens in the one pot (excluding cooking the rice), so its perfect for a quick week night meal.
You start by browning the chicken and then cooking the onions until soft. Add your liquid and the eggs and its all ready once the eggs are set. Serve with rice and garnish with spring onion and pickled ginger. It’s also lovely served with asian greens.
Chicken Domburi
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 300 - 400 grams chicken thighs (about 4 thighs)
- 2 medium onions; finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 4 tablespoons soy
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 5 eggs; light beaten
- Spring onion; finely chopped on the diagonal
- pickled ginger to serve
- Boiled rice to serve
Instructions
- Heat half the oil in a frying pan over high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through. Set aside. Add the additional oil and the sliced onions; cook over low heat until tender but not browned. Add the soy, water, and mirin and bring to the boil. Return the chicken to the pan.
- Lower heat to low and pour in the eggs. Using a wooden spoon, stir it around once to distribute the mixture a little. Cover and cook for 5 or so minutes, or until the egg is set.
- Add rice to bowl and top with the chicken. Garnish with spring onion and pickled ginger.

Thanks so much Thalia, domburi literally means bowl in Japanese. Its a really tasty dish. xx
This sounds so delicious – and also so easy! I’m all about that on a busy week (aren’t they all?!) It also looks like such a warm and comforting bowl – perfect for these cooler fall nights we’re starting to get. Yummed! Thanks for sharing!

Chicken thighs are my top 3 favorite part of the chicken after chicken wings. What can I say?! Asian influened recipes and chicken as ingredient, is very ”attractive”!
Mine too, they are much easier to cook with than the breast. Thanks for stopping by and I’m still working on my questions from your nomination. Not enough hours in the day! xx
I don’t have kids but I’d still make this for myself. It looks so inviting. Yum!
Thanks Nataliya, yes I made it before I had kids too. Thanks for stopping by. xx

Thanks Mireille, it is so easy, you will love it. xx
This looks great and quick as well. I love chicken thighs and think they are the best of all chicken cuts, moist and flavorsome. Good sauce. Yum!
Thanks Mark, I so agree. I most often use the chicken thighs. Much easier to cook with than the breast. x
