Oyakodon: Basic Recipe

Ingredients

  • Rice
  • Steam rice beforehand.
  • Oyakodon prepared with freshly steamed rice is miles ahead of reheated rice as far as taste is concerned!
  • Chicken
  • Choose breast or thigh chicken. It is up to you to use or discard the skin. I prefer to discard it, unless I deep-fry the chicken first.
  • Eggs
  • Choose the freshest ones as possible with large deep-coloured yolks.
  • Vegetables:
  • Thinly sliced onion to be cooked together with the oyakodon.
  • A lot of people feel like adding other vegetables. Keep in mind they have to be cut thin and need to be fried.
  • Fresh leaved greens for the final and important touch. My favourite is fresh trefoil. If not available, I use flat parsley or chopped leeks.
  • In many regions they also add chopped dry seaweed for the final touch.
  • Stock soup/sauce:
  • You may use water, but dashi is a lot better. I pesonally use seaweed dashi. One might use chicken stock, too.
  • I add a little soy sauce, sugar, Japanese sake and sweet Japanese sake/mirin.
  • That is where improvisation and personal taste come in!
  • You may season with salt and pepper, but bear in mind that soy sauce already contains salt, so easy on that one!
