welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
today I'm going to show you how to make
Oyakodon
Oya means Parent
ko means children
and don is rice bowl
it is quick and easy dish
that you can easily make under 30 minutes
the major ingredients for this dish
is the chicken
and you wanted to make sure that
you use the chicken thigh
instead of the chicken breast
the fattiness of the chicken thigh
will definitely makes the meat
a lot juicier
and softer
compared to the breasts
you will saute
this diced chicken thighs
and sliced yellow onion
and seasoned sauce
and then finish with runny scramble egg
then you pour this whole cooked mixture
on top of a bowl of rice
so let's get started
here is the ingredients overview
and what you will need for one serving of oyakodon
with the soy sauce and sugar
you can put more or less
depending on your preferred taste
for saltier add more soy sauce
and for sweetness add more sugar
first, lightly beat one medium egg
make sure to not beat too much
as you still want the egg white
and center to be a little bit separated
next, add the sauces to a nonstick pan
to make the flavor of oyakodon
put quarter cup of dashi
half tablespoon of sugar
half tablespoon of cooking sake
one tablespoon of soy sauce
and half tablespoon of mirin
turn on the heat to medium heat
and mix together
heat for just a moment
then add quarter slice of yellow onion into the pan
allow it to simmer for about a minute
to soak in the flavors and stir occasionally
after a minutes has passed
add one diced chicken thigh and stir
turn down the heat to simmer
and cover for about two minutes
after one minute has passed
stir the chicken once again
to ensure it all gets cooked
and cover again for the remaining minute
you do not want to overcook the chicken
in this recipe as it will end up tasting tough
so check the chicken frequently
to make sure you catch it just when it's fully cooked
once two minutes has passed
gather all the ingredients toward the center of the pan
then pour the beaten egg into it
swirl around as you pour
then allow it to simmer
put in the sliced green onions
and cover for about a minute
once one minutes has passed
you're all done
prepare a bowl of steamed rice
then place the oyako on top of the rice
to complete one serving of oyakodon
so now that the oyakodon is made
it's always nice to accompany with
some Japanese pickled vegetables
such as takuan or sukimono
miso soup is always nice to have
so this completes a nice and nutritious healthy meal
