Furikake Gohan~ ... what is that???

All settled into college! I hope you’re still enjoying your summer and the warm weather before it starts getting chillier! Today I’ve decided to provide a really unique recipe I found on a cooking show I enjoy watching (It’s called Shokugeki No Soma; it’s an anime, but I strongly recommend it for those who enjoy cooking and humor!). You probably took a look at the title and wondered exactly this was. This is actually jellied broth and scrambled eggs over rice! It perhaps doesn’t sound very interesting, but it’s a light yet filling meal. Give it a shot if you’re feeling creative~

*** serves 2-3 ***
Ingredients
·      7 chicken wings
·      1 tbsp sesame oil
·      1 tsp grated ginger
·      24 oz bonito broth
·      1.5 tbsp sake
·      1.5 tbsp sugar
·      1.5 tbsp mirin
·      1.6-2 oz light soy sauce
·      4 eggs
·      1 tbsp sugar
·      Pinch of salt
·      Minced green onion, for garnish

Cook rice and keep it warm until you’re ready to eat. Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan and fry each of the chicken wings until they’re browned. Combine the chicken wings with the ginger, broth, sake, 1.5 tbsp sugar, mirin, and soy sauce in a large pot, boil the contents, and skim the scum off of the surface. Adjust the flavors if you’d like, and then after an hour or so of boiling, pour the broth into a tray (save the chicken wings), let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until the felly has solidified.  Dice the jelly into small cubes, shred the chicken into pieces, and set them on the side. Whisk the eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, and salt and scramble them in a frying pan. Add a bunch of jellied cubes, scrambled eggs, and chicken pieces on top of a bowl of hot rice, and top with green onion garnish, and you’re all done!

This recipe is fun and really yummy, either for an afternoon snack or a meal, and the jellied cubes will keep in the fridge for roughly 2 weeks. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
