Oyakodon (親子丼) - a simple Japanese chicken and egg rice bowl recipe

Chef Dai demonstrates how to make "Oyakodon" - a simple yet delicious Japanese rice bowl recipe with tender, juicy nuggets of chicken and fluffy, creamy egg.

Ingredients

Chicken Thigh x 1 (deboned and butterflied)

Small white onion x 1/2 small

Egg x 1

Dashi Stock x 5 Tbsp (alternatively use instant stock powder)

Dark soy sauce x 1 Tbsp

Mirin x 1 Tbsp

Sugar x 1 Tbsp

Spring onion x 1

Steamed Rice x 1 bowl

Thinly cut Nori Seaweed (optional)

Mitsuba herb x 2 stalks, cut into 2cm pieces (optional)

Takuan pickles

Oyakodon (親子丼), literally means "parent-and-child rice bowl". This Japanese classic is a comforting rice bowl dish, in which pieces of chicken thigh, egg, sliced spring onions and white onions, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish.
