This 'Ultimate Soft-Boiled Oyako-Don' has been meticulously crafted by culinary researcher Ryuji. The key is to grill the chicken until fragrant and then add the eggs in two stages for a perfectly semi-cooked finish. Savor the profound dashi-based sauce and the aroma of mitsuba that will stimulate your appetite for this authentic taste at home.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 150g chicken thigh
  • 1/8 onion
  • 2 eggs
  • Mitsuba to taste
  • 200g cooked rice

Seasonings

  • [A] 2.5 tbsp water
  • [A] 2 tbsp mirin
  • [A] 1 tbsp white dashi
  • [A] 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Approx. 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • Shichimi togarashi to taste

Steps

  1. Cut mitsuba into appropriate sizes.
  2. Thinly slice onion.
  3. Heat approx. 1 tsp vegetable oil in a frying pan.
  4. Place chicken thigh skin-side down in the frying pan and sear firmly. 【This is the trick!】 Rendering the fat from the skin and adding a fragrant aroma dramatically enhances the flavor.
  5. Cut the seared chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a small pot, combine 2.5 tbsp water, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp white dashi, and 1 tbsp soy sauce, and mix to create the sauce.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce into the pot, add the onion, and heat over high heat. Once the onion has softened, add 150g chicken thigh.
  8. Reduce heat to low and slowly cook the chicken thigh and onion.
  9. Lightly beat 1 egg, leaving some streaks of white and yolk unmixed.
  10. Pour one beaten egg into the pot and cover, heating for about 1 minute until semi-cooked.
  11. Lightly beat another egg, leaving some streaks of white and yolk unmixed.
  12. Pour one beaten egg into the semi-cooked mixture in the pot and cover to cook. 【This is the trick!】 Adding the egg in two stages results in a more perfectly semi-cooked texture.
  13. Turn off the heat while some raw-looking parts remain; the residual heat will finish cooking.
  14. Serve 200g warm cooked rice in a bowl and gently slide the ingredients from the pot over the rice. Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi to taste, if desired.
