- 1/2 cup diced chicken breast
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)

Directions
-
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step helps remove excess starch from the rice.

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables in the pot.

Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time!
-
After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pot sit, covered, for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
