Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken thigh, bite-sized pieces
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1/2 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 120 ml Dashi stock
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 bowls Cooked short-grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon Mitsuba or Green Onions, chopped(optional)
- 1 pinch Shichimi Togarashi(optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small frying pan or oyakodon pan, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar over medium heat.
- 2
Add the sliced onions to the pan and simmer until they become soft and translucent.
- 3
Place the chicken pieces evenly over the onions and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.

Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl, ensuring you do not over-mix; the yolks and whites should still be somewhat separate.

Slowly pour two-thirds of the beaten eggs over the chicken and onions, then cover the pan with a lid.

Cook for 1 minute, then pour the remaining egg over the top and cover again for 30 seconds until the egg is set but still slightly runny.

Slide the mixture carefully onto a bowl of hot steamed rice.
- 8
Garnish with chopped green onions or mitsuba and a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi if desired.
