Oyako Don (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)

30 minutes · 2 servings · omnivore

A classic donburi dish with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 10 oz / 280 g boneless chicken thigh, sliced
  • 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup dashi or chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • 1 tbsp scallions, sliced

Let’s make it

  1. In a skillet, combine the broth, soy sauce, sugar, onion, and chicken and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook 8-10 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 F / 74 C and the onion is soft.
  3. Beat the eggs lightly and pour them over the chicken; cover and cook 3–5 minutes until fully set with no liquid egg remaining.
  4. Spoon over the rice and top with scallions.
  5. Serve hot.

Cook the egg a little longer if serving to children, so it is fully set.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
