Steps:

• PREPARATION:.
• Soak mushrooms in water ahead of time.
• Slice chicken into thin pieces.
• Wash watercress throughly, cut to 1 1/2 inches pieces.
• Beat eggs well in a container. When serving in individual bowls, separate eggs into four portions.
• After mushrooms have softened, remove stems and cut into small pieces. (I used a packaged of dried Shiataki mushrooms found in the Oriental section of my grocery store).
• PREPARING THE BROTH AND COOKING:.
• Quickly boil all broth ingredients together.
• Remove from heat.
• Add chicken, mushrooms, green onions/watercress and let boil.
• Immediately lower heat and remove scum that may have surfaced to the top of the broth.
• Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Slowly and gently pour the beaten egg mixture.
• from about 8 - 10 inches above the broth so that the egg cooks into a stringy consistency.
• Fill the donburi bowls with 2/3 full with hot rice.
• Gently ladle broth mixture over rice.
• Garnish with slivers of nori. (I used my kitchen shears to strip it up).
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Finely chop the green onion.
• Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• Marinate chicken in soy sauce and mirin for at least 10 minutes. If you don't have mirin, you can use sake and 1/4 tsp sugar. If you don't have sake, dry sherry can be used as well.
• In another bowl, break the eggs. Divide the yolks into halves. Stir the eggs, but do not fully blend them.
• In a saucepan, heat the dashi (substitute with chicken broth) to a boil. Add the chicken and cook quickly, stirring constantly.
• When the chicken is fully cooked, add the green onions and eggs in a circular motion. Roughly stir the mixture.
• In the traditional Japanese recipe, you would turn off the heat when the eggs are half-cooked and then place the pot on a cold wet towel (to keep the eggs from cooking any further), but they don't worry about salmonella poisoning over there, so I prefer to fully cook the eggs.
• Serve on steamed rice and garnish with nori to taste.
