Oyako Donburi

This is a Japanese savoury dish that can be made in about 15minutes! Its quick and tasty and barely requires any preparation.

Just a fun fact before we get started! 

In Japanese Oyako means "parent and child" because both chicken and egg are used in this dish. Don comes from the word Donburi, a "large bowl" in which savoury rice or hot noodles with soup are served.

Hope you enjoy this easy meal! 

Serves 1.

Ingredients:

• 1 bowl of cooked rice
• 250g chicken thigh or chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced

Sauce

• 200ml dashi (fish) soup stock
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 2 eggs, beaten in a bowl

Method

First to prepare, cook 1 bowl of plain white rice. 

Next, prepare a fry pan on medium heat with the dashi and onion and cook through for about 2-3minutes.

Once you have let that simmer, add the chicken and let that cook through. Then add the mirin and soy sauce. Make sure to taste it at this point and make sure it is to your liking. Add a pinch of sugar if you like it sweeter. Let this sit for a couple more minutes. When cooked through, drizzle the beaten egg all over the ingredients in the pan (slowly), turn the heat down to low and put the lid on for about 3minutes. Make sure to not over cook it or let it boil over. 

When cooked, take the lid off, turn the stove off and pour on top of rice. Garnish with extra spring onions if you wish and serve hot.

Simple but OH so tasty!
