Prepare the chicken by seasoning with salt and black pepper.

Dip the floured chicken into beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the chicken with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels.

In the same pan, sauté sliced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to the pan; bring to a simmer.

Slice the fried chicken into strips and place on top of the onions in the pan.

Cover the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes until chicken absorbs flavors.

Serve the chicken and onions over a bowl of cooked rice.

Garnish with sliced green onions.
