This is my family's udon noodle broth.Even I, who only ever buys the bare minimum when it comes to ingredients, had what I needed to make the soup broth.The meat and shiitake mushrooms soak up the delicious flavors of the broth.You don't need to measure the ingredients precisely. Adjust the concentration to your liking. You could add aburaage or other ingredients. The ingredients will cook through enough after bringing the saucepan to a boil. It's fine to turn off the heat immediately after bringing it to a boil.I served it with my DIY udon noodles Recipe by Myajima

Oyakodon (Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)
Oyakodon is a classic Japanese rice bowl dish made with tender chicken and fluffy eggs simmered in a sweet and savory broth, then served over warm rice. It's simple to make with just a few ingredients and requires only one pan, making cleanup easy. The umami-rich chicken, sweet onions, and flavorful broth blend perfectly with the eggs, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. It's well-balanced in nutrition and loved by all ages. Even when you have little appetite, it's easy to eat and warms both the body and heart.In Japan, eggs are safe to eat raw, so oyakodon is often served with the eggs very soft and slightly runny. However, eggs in the U.S. are generally not considered safe to eat raw, so it’s best to cook them thoroughly. That’s why this recipe is designed to fully cook the eggs. Keep in mind that the residual heat after removing the pan will continue to cook the eggs, but if you're concerned, you can cook the eggs a little longer!#japanesefood #CA2025

Oyakodon
Oyakodon is a masterclass in umami. Oyakodon, meaning “parent-and-child bowl,” is Japan’s ultimate comfort food—a savory, simmered mix of tender chicken, soft-cooked eggs, and sweet-salty dashi broth, all nestled over warm rice. It’s a one-bowl wonder that’s as cozy as a home-cooked hug, proving that simplicity and depth of flavor can go hand in hand.• Watch the full video on my channel (link in profile)


Tender, Fluffy and Creamy Oyakodon (Egg and Chicken Rice Bowl) Made with Chicken Breast
I thought this up for kids that wouldn't eat it when cooked the regular way. I softened both the meat and eggs at once with potato starch flour. My kids complimented me and said that they didn't know why, but the recipe was amazing.This is made all at once. Don't mix the whisked egg into the while frying pan when you have someone who can't eat at the same time, but make it so that one portion remains untouched by it and set it aside. Also, if you boil it down, then add I a bit if water later and heat it back up, and then add in the egg. You can use thigh meat or tenders, whichever you like. For 3-4 servings, using a 25 cm [9.8 in] frying pan. Recipe by tama-ma

No Sake or Mirin Needed! Make Your Own Mentsuyu
I did some research on the internet and made my own version using ingredients at hand.Dried bonito gives the mentsuyu a very refined taste. Dried bonito flakes makes a strong dashi stock.After straining, use the bonito to make stock from a second, third, and fourth batch for other dishes, like oden (fish cake stew), simmered dishes, takikomi gohan (rice cooked with other ingredients), or soup. It's really tasty! Recipe by vegecat
