OYAKO DONBURI (CHICKEN & EGG WITH RICE)



Oyako Donburi (Chicken & Egg with Rice) image

Oyako Donburi literally means "parent-child rice bowl" because it's made with chicken (parent) and egg (child). It's a one bowl meal: fresh steamed rice topped with tender pieces of chicken and onions cooked with egg in a soy based sauce. If you have a family of big eaters, make extra rice.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Meat and Seafood     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
4 cups water
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
1 onion, cut in half and sliced
2 cups dashi stock, made with dashi powder
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 eggs

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in 3 to 4 changes of water until the rinse water is almost clear, and drain off the rinse water. Bring the rice and 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place the chicken in a nonstick skillet with a lid, and cook and stir over medium heat until the chicken is no longer pink inside and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook and stir until the onion is soft, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the stock, and whisk in soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, and let simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl until well-beaten, and pour over the chicken and stock. Cover the skillet, reduce heat, and allow to steam for about 5 minutes, until the egg is cooked. Remove from heat.
  • To serve, place 1 cup of cooked rice per bowl into 4 deep soup bowls, top each bowl with 1/4 of the chicken and egg mixture, and spoon about 1/2 cup of soup into each bowl.

OYAKODON (JAPANESE CHICKEN AND EGG RICE BOWL)



Oyakodon (Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl) image

Oyakodon, a soupy rice bowl with bite-size chicken and softly cooked egg, is often overshadowed by its more glamorous cousins - katsudon, crowned with a golden breaded pork cutlet, and kaisendon, jeweled with sashimi. But to describe oyakodon's layered textures and sweet-salty sauce of onions melting in soy, sake and mirin, the word magical comes up again and again. This recipe, more subtly seasoned than you might find in a Tokyo cafeteria, comes from the photographer Mika Horie, who grew up cooking it with her mother in Kyoto. It calls for cooking the eggs and chicken in two batches. You can cook all of it at once in a larger skillet, but the results won't be as pretty.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons dashi (homemade or instant)
2 tablespoons dry sake
2 tablespoons mirin or aji mirin
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 skin-on chicken thighs, deboned (do it yourself or ask your butcher)
1 small onion, thinly sliced, lengthwise
4 eggs
6 sprigs of mitsuba, cut into 1-inch lengths, or 2 scallions, very thinly sliced on a sharp diagonal
Short-grained white rice (often labeled sushi rice), cooked, for serving
Shichimi togarashi (Japanese 7-spice chile pepper, sometimes labeled nanami) (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine dashi, sake, mirin, soy sauce and sugar; stir to dissolve sugar. Set aside.
  • Heat a small (6- or 7-inch) nonstick (or well-seasoned carbon steel) slope-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the skin side of each piece of chicken until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes (meat will still be mostly raw). Transfer to a cutting board, skin-side down. Dice into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cook chicken and egg in two batches: In a small bowl, beat two eggs until yolks and whites are broken, but still distinct. Return skillet to medium-high heat, wiping out any excess grease. Add half the sliced onions and half the sauce (about 1/3 cup), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until onions just begin soften. Add half the cut-up chicken; simmer for another 1 to 3 minutes, stirring, until chicken is white on the outside.
  • Pour about half of the beaten eggs around the pan; let cook undisturbed for 30 seconds. Add the rest of the beaten eggs, and half the mitsuba or scallion. Adjust heat to low, and cook 20 seconds longer. Cover pan with a lid or foil and remove from heat. After a minute, uncover pan; eggs should be wobbly, but not raw (if they need more cooking, return the covered pan briefly to the heat).
  • Carefully slide egg, chicken and sauce onto a bowl of cooked rice, trying to keep the mixture from flipping over. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 with remaining ingredients. Serve with shichimi togarashi, if desired.
