Thank you for 100 reports & being featured in the news!
Just add potato starch to the eggs and pour over the chicken—each person only needs one egg to make a fluffy, creamy oyakodon.
Recipe background:
Adding potato starch to Japanese omelets makes them fluffy, so I tried it with oyakodon and it turned out soft and creamy!

Steps

1

Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and rub with the potato starch and sake mixture. Thinly slice the onion and cut the mitsuba into bite-sized pieces.
2

In a frying pan, combine the water, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and soup stock. Add the onion and chicken, then heat. Once it comes to a boil, skim off any foam and simmer until reduced.
3

Dissolve 2 teaspoons potato starch in an equal amount of water. Crack the eggs into this mixture and beat well, cutting through the egg whites.
4

When the onion and chicken are cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, pour in the egg mixture.
5

Stir gently with chopsticks, remove from heat, sprinkle with mitsuba, and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs. Serve over bowls of rice and enjoy!
