Description

A comforting Japanese dish that combines tender chicken, fluffy eggs, and savory sauce served over rice.


Ingredients

  • 2 servings Rice
  • 4 Eggs
  • 4 Chicken thighs (skinless and boneless)
  • 2 Scallions (white and greens separated)
  • 1 Onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 3 tbsp Mirin
  • 4 tbsp Light Soy sauce
  • 2 g Dashi Powder (Japanese stock powder)
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar


Instructions

  1. Boil water and cook rice according to packaging instructions. Set aside.
  2. Debone and remove the skin from the chicken thighs. Cut the meat into small cubes.
  3. Dice the onions into chunks and finely chop the scallions and garlic. Separate the white parts from the green parts of your scallions.
  4. Mix together the chicken cubes, dashi powder, soy sauce, 1 cup of water, mirin, and brown sugar in a bowl.
  5. Cook scallion whites, garlic, and onions on medium heat with vegetable oil until soft.
  6. Add the chicken mixture from the bowl to the pan. Let it cook on medium heat for 8-9 minutes.
  7. Whisk the eggs in a bowl until they reach 85% consistency.
  8. Pour the beaten eggs over the chicken and sauce mixture. Cook for another 4 minutes, allowing the eggs to set but remain slightly runny.
  9. Sprinkle chopped scallion greens over the dish.
  10. Serve the Oyakodon over a bowl of steamed rice.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in soy sauce and mirin for about 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
