Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chicken thigh (boneless, skinless)
- 3 Eggs
- 200 ml Dashi stock
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 bowls Cooked white rice
- 1 stalk Green onion (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat them. Do not overmix; keeping some whites visible adds a nice texture.
In a small frying pan or donburi pan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Add the thinly sliced onion to the pan and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it softens and becomes translucent.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, spreading them out evenly. Cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken cook for 5-6 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour the beaten eggs evenly over the chicken and onion mixture. Cover the pan again and cook until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 1-2 minutes.
Fill two bowls with warm cooked white rice. Carefully slide half of the chicken and egg mixture over each bowl of rice.
Garnish with chopped green onion on top and serve immediately. Enjoy your Oyako Don!
