Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method
5 steps
boil · 18m walk awayRice rinsed until the water runs clear, then on with its lid and left.
chop · 5mOnion sliced into half-moons, chicken into bite pieces.
simmer · 9mDashi, soy and sugar up to a simmer with the onion until it softens, then the chicken in a single layer.
fold · 3mBeaten egg poured over in a spiral and NOT stirred — the point is soft curds set in the broth, and stirring makes scrambled egg soup.
finish · 2mLid on for a minute off the heat, then slid whole onto the rice with the spring onion.
Worth knowing
Donburi means "bowl". The dish is named after what it is served in rather than anything that is in it.
