The ultimate oyakodon recipe that can be made at home, taught by a former high-end hotel chef. It's easy as it doesn't require dashi, but by charring the chicken, you can recreate the deep flavor of a restaurant. Try this exquisite oyakodon with its fluffy and tender egg.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 300g chicken thigh
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 1/2 onion
  • Mitsuba (Japanese parsley) to taste

Seasonings

  • [A] 50cc mirin
  • [A] 1.5 tbsp soy sauce (2 tbsp for a richer flavor)
  • [A] 100cc water
  • [A] 1g hondashi (0.5 tsp)
  • Salt to taste

Steps

  1. Slice the onion to about 5mm thick.
  2. Remove the sinew from the chicken thigh and cut into approximately 3cm pieces.
  3. Lightly beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are just mixed. [This is the key!] Not fully mixing the eggs will result in a beautiful finish.
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan, stir-fry the chicken thigh over medium heat, and add salt to taste to brown it well. [This is the key!] While oyakodon is typically simmered rather than fried, charring it here brings out the aroma and richness, which perfectly complements the sauce.
  5. Once the chicken is colored, add the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds until coated in oil.
  6. Add [A] 100cc water, [A] 1g hondashi, [A] 50cc mirin, and [A] 1.5 tbsp soy sauce and mix once.
  7. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
  8. While keeping the chicken and onions cooked, thinly drizzle the beaten egg in a circular motion with chopsticks.
  9. Cook over low heat for about 30 seconds, and once the egg starts to set, gently add the remaining beaten egg in the same way.
  10. Sprinkle with mitsuba, cover with a lid, and cook over low heat for about 15 seconds until done.
