Chicken Sukiyaki

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dashi powder (see Note)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• water
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 small onion, sliced lengthwise
• 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps thinly sliced
• Salt
• 8 ounces light silken tofu, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
• 5 ounces baby spinach
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• Steamed sushi rice, for serving

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce with the dashi powder, sugar, and 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover and keep warm off the heat.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onion and mushrooms, season with salt, and cook over high heat until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tofu and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Scrape the mixture onto a plate.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet. Add the chicken, season with salt, and cook over high heat, stirring twice, until just white throughout, about 3 minutes. Return the vegetables and tofu to the skillet and cook, stirring, just until combined. Spoon the mixture into shallow bowls and add sushi rice. Ladle the broth on top and serve.
