‘Oyako’ means ‘Parent and Child’. In this recipe, Chicken and Eggs are used, thus this dish is called ‘Oyako' Don. This is one of the dishes that I cook most often. Sometimes I cook this with Tofu instead of Chicken. Tofu and Eggs can’t be called ‘Oyako’ or ‘Parent and Child’, though it is equally yummy.

Steps

1

Cut Chicken into bite size pieces and slice Onion(s).
2

Heat Oil in a frying pan and cook Chicken. When Chicken changes colour, add Onion slices.
3

Add Dashi Stock, Sugar, Mirin and Soy Sauce and cook over medium heat.
4

Beat Eggs and pour them over but DO NOT stir. Scatter Spring Onions and cover the pan with a lid until the Egg is set. I actually like the Egg half cooked.
5

Half fill a bowl with Freshly Cooked Rice and cover it with the Chicken mixture.
