Instructions
- Marinate 200 grams skinless chicken thighs with 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sake, and ¼ teaspoon grated ginger for at least 30 minutes.
- When you’re ready to cook the Oyako Donburi, add 1 tablespoon potato starch to the chicken and mix it in well.
- Break 3 large eggs into a bowl and beat 3-4 times until the egg whites and yolk are swirled but not mixed.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 75 grams onion. Stir-fry until the onions start turning translucent and soft.
- Push the onions to the sides of the pan and add the chicken. Spread it into a single layer and fry on one side until browned (about 2 minutes).
- Flip the chicken over and brown the second side (about another 1 ½ minutes).
- Add ½ cup dashi stock, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sugar to the pan and simmer until the chicken is cooked through (another minute) and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- With the sauce at a full boil, drizzle the egg into the pan from 1 foot (30cm) above.
- Cook the egg while shaking the pan to redistribute, but do not stir.
- When the egg is done to your liking, turn off the heat and divide the Oyakodon sauce between 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice. Garnish with Mitsuba and serve with Shichimi togarashi.
