Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides.
Add the sliced vegetables, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pot. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
In a separate bowl, mix the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until well combined. Pour the mixture into the pot with the chicken and vegetables.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Taste the Chikuzenni and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more soy sauce or sugar according to your preference.
Once the dish is ready, serve it hot in bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions for an extra touch of freshness.
Enjoy with steamed rice or on its own.
