Oyakodon
Oyakodon is a delicious Japanese dish that consists of a bed of steamed rice topped with a flavorful mixture of chicken, egg, and onions simmered in a savory soy-based sauce. The name "oyakodon" translates to "parent and child bowl" in English, symbolizing the combination of chicken and egg.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless skinless
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (a sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 cups Japanese short-grain rice cooked
- 2 green onions thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pan or skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink.
- Add the thinly sliced onions to the pan and cook until they become translucent.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Pour this mixture over the chicken and onions in the pan.
- Cover the pan and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
- Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs over the chicken and onions. Cover the pan again and cook for a couple of minutes until the eggs are cooked and slightly runny.
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls and spoon the chicken, onion, and egg mixture on top.
- Garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
