My Special Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl

My poor hubby had lost his appetite because the weather was so hot every day, so I made him his favorite donburi (rice bowl). In order to encourage his appetite, I went easy on the amount of rice and served him some tempura and cold udon noodles too to make his favorite combination lunch.
Usually the chicken and onion are simmered from the start, but my mother taught me that simmered dishes are better if they are stir fried first, so I adapted that advice to making oyako don as well. Recipe by uko1029

The sauce is on the sweet side and goes very well with rice. It doesn't take much time to make, and it's really delicious! It's better with a generous amount of onion. For 3 frying-pans' worth.

Standard But Delicious Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl Standard But Delicious Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl
Chicken and egg bowls are a staple dish but they're pretty hard to make properly. By beating the egg lightly, I was able to make it turn out soft and pudding-like.Don't beat the egg too much. I usually simmer the chicken in dashi stock, but I tried stir frying it this time. I think the chicken becames nicely browned and tasty. By cooking it over medium-high heat in a short amount of time the chicken won't turn tough. For one 26 cm [10.2 in] diameter frying pan's worth. Recipe by Arominto cookpad.japan -
Rich Stir-Fried Oyako Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl Rich Stir-Fried Oyako Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl
I've been making oyako don this way forever. By stir-frying the ingredients, I think it comes out tasting a lot richer.Brown the chicken thigh meat, onion and Japanese leek on on surface. They'll be simmered later so there's no need to cook them through at that point.If you don't have any honey, use sugar or sugar syrup instead.Try not to beat the egg too much. I think it tastes creamier that way.If you don't like ginger, you can just take it out during the cooking process. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Lesser Panda cookpad.japan -
