Japanese Chicken-Scallion Rice Bowl

As someone who was brought up on Japanese food, I think some of the reviewers misunderstand this recipe. It's NOT soup! Although it's served in a soup bowl, it's a rice bowl. I thought it was delicious and just right without modifications.

This recipe is amazing. This has become a household favorite, especially on a cold day! YUM!

Easy to make. So delicious. Do be afraid to try it.

I loved this dish. It is incredibly easy and quick to throw together, and tastes great. It is sweet, but reflects traditional Japanese flavor well. A great addition to my cooking menu.

I reduced the sugar and added sliced mushrooms (because I have a love affair with mushrooms) and it turned out wonderful! Not at all like the picture though!Also, I see a lot of people are saying that it does not feed 4... which is somewhat true. It will not feed 4 adult males. However, my daughter and I had a serving (she is four) and my husband had two and it was just enough for us! I thought it was wonderful because, yes, I was a tad hungry but it is only 257 calories! My husband needs more than that (hence his double portion) but my four year old and I do not.

Too Sweet for my Buds Next time I will try cutting the sugar in half (something I do at Starbucks and restaurants that sell sweet tea, as well). Pros: filling Cons: too sweet

Simple, DeliciousI made exactly as described, using white wine (forgot sugar), and it was excellent. Next time I will try adding mushrooms.Pros: So easy, ingredients on hand

I would make it again There are so many creative things you can do to this recipe. I left the sugar out, used sherry because it add flavor and I also added 2tbs of oyster sauce and a squirt of sesame oil.

Mistated calories My family loves this but I was really surprised and disappointed to learn that the calories reported are of by at least 50...it makes a big difference if youre counting. The actual calories per serving is 320ish, not the 262 stated, depending on what brand/type of rice you use. Pros: Delicious Cons: High in Carbs

Awesome - loved it!We enjoyed this very much - did what others said and added more chicken broth - was too much to double it in our opinion. Mine didn't taste bland or salty at all - was perfect! Would add broccoli and shredded carrotts next time. Put mushrooms in and it was soooo good. Everyone loved it!Pros: very quick and easy to makeCons: none

You need more than 1 cup of broth. Try 2 or 3. Add some pepper. It was too sweet for me. But other than that, tasted great. I would keep the yolk from the 3rd egg also. If you have ever made egg drop soup, you will know what I mean. My 8 yr old loved it, 4 year old....not so much.

I may have liked this had I doubled the broth as suggested by many others. Otherwise I found it to be somewhat dry.

Yum! I doubled all the sauce ingredients (taking advice from previous posts, thanks!) and it turned out great! I think I might add some red pepper flakes for heat though!

Made this for dinner last night and it was super easy and quick. I made it with Udon noodles like one person suggested and it turned out wonderful - not to mention filling!

This was really yummy! I made it without mirin or wine and it was still super tastey! The scallions really add a nice flavor. I just had to cover the dish while the chicken cooked to make sure they cooked all the way through. I used more rice and it came out less like a soup, and more like fried rice, but it was awesome!
