Ever since buying a cheap donburi pot at a 100-yen store, we've been preparing this dish this way.Don't beat the eggs too much, just beat it lightly until there is still some trace of the white. The key to a soft-set finish is to pour in the egg in two batches. You could mushrooms too. Adjust the flavoring ingredients to your taste. Recipe by Muuny cookpad.japan -

Simple with Mentsuyu Noodle Sauce Roast Chicken Simple with Mentsuyu Noodle Sauce Roast Chicken
I made this for Christmas this year. I was looking through the ingredients in store-bought sauce and realized that mentsuyu could be used to season roasted chicken.If you have the time, marinate for as long as possible, overnight is the best. Let the flavors settle in at least for an hour. However, if you top with the sauce you can get it to work out.Adjust the baking time and brown color accordingly, so it cooks through to the center.
