 Rice
Use long or (preferably) medium-grain rice. If you don't have dashi,
substitute unseasoned chicken stock.
Mirin
If you don't have it, substitute sake (or dry sherry) and 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) of sugar.
Pan
If your pan is not well seasoned, rub its interior with a light coating of
vegetable oil before adding the liquid ingredients. This measure helps prevent
the eggs from sticking in step 7.
Cooking
liquid
Do not let the liquid boil in steps 6 and 7 or the chicken will shrink and
toughen.
Eggs
Do not let the eggs become fully firm in step 7. They will continue to cook on
top of the hot rice.
