Instructions

1. Grate the ginger on a ceramic grater until you have 1 tsp of grated ginger with its juice.
2. With the heat off, combine the ginger, ground chicken, sake, mirin, 1 to 1½ Tbsp sugar and 2½ Tbsp soy sauce in a medium saucepan.
3. Over medium-low heat, stir constantly with long chopsticks, breaking the meat into fine crumbles, for about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Keep cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is glossy and glazed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside.
5. In another cold medium saucepan, off the heat, beat the eggs, 1 Tbsp sugar and ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt with long chopsticks until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
6. Over medium-low heat, stir the eggs constantly, scraping the bottom and sides, and break up large curds.
7. Remove from the heat as soon as the eggs are just barely set and still look moist, not dry.
8. Divide the cooked rice (2 servings) between two donburi bowls. Spoon the chicken over one half and the eggs over the other half.
9. Arrange 2 Tbsp cooked green peas in a line down the middle and add pickled red ginger on top if you like.
