Oyako-don is one of the most popular Japanese dishes. The direct translation of the name is parent-child rice bowl since it is made out of chicken and egg. A bit scary concept😱 but it tastes sooo good!

3

Put soy sauce, water, mirin and sliced onion into a pan and cook them on allow heat until it starts simmering
4

Add in the diced chicken and continue cooking until the chicken turns white
5

Mix 3 eggs gently. Don’t mix it all the way. Probably around 10-15 gentle stir is enough
6

Once the chicken is cooked, add in majority of the egg. Leave some eggs on the side for the end
7

Once the egg is cooked, add in the remainder of the egg.
Stop the heat and put the lid on so the egg cooks with the remaining heat

Aaaaaand it’s done 🎉
Put it on a bowl of freshly cooked rice.

Usually you put Japanese wild parsley as the topping but I replaced it with some rocket 🌿
