Oyakodon Chicken

Oyakodon, a comforting and nourishing Japanese dish, features tender chicken and fluffy eggs simmered in a savory dashi broth. This healthy meal is both satisfying and quick to prepare, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Dashi stock - 200 ml (can be made from dashi granules)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin (sweet rice wine) - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Eggs - 4 large

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the dashi stock over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
3. Stir in the chicken pieces, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
