Oyakodon Recipe:
Ingredients
1 lb boneless and skinless chicken thighs/breasts, sliced thinly
½ onion, sliced thin
12 cups water
1 tsp dashi mix (optional, if you don't have, no worries! I usually make it without)
3 ½ tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin (definitely need this)
¼ cup green onion
24 eggs
2 cups cooked white sticky rice (make sure you use sticky rice, you can find a brand called "Botan" at most American stores, even Walmart!)
Directions
Start cooking some rice in your rice cooker/stove top.
In a small mixing bowl, combine water, dashi, soy sauce, mirin and mix until combined. Set aside.
Dice chicken into thinly sliced bite sized pieces and set aside.
Whisk 24 eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and chicken and cook until chicken is fully cooked through.
Add the water, dashi, soy sauce, and mirin and lower heat to medium low. Tase the broth to see if you need more salty (add soy sauce) or sweet (add mirin or sugar). Cover with lid until it comes to a medium boil.
Trickiest part slowly drizzle the beaten eggs (I like using a measuring cup with a spout) over the chicken and onions into the bubbling broth. Make sure to drizzle it around the entire pan so the eggs don't become one big blob. Cover with lid and cook until eggs are just set.
Scoop some out onto some hot sticky rice and serve with plenty of green onions on top.
