Oyakodon
Ingredients:
Makes 1 bowl
1/4 cup Tsuyu (Somen Noodle Soup Base: Straight)
1/8 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 carrot, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 chicken breast, cubed
1 egg, well beaten
1 cup cooked rice
Direction:
In a small about 6-inch skillet, combine Tsuyu, water, sugar, onion and carrot and bring to boil and reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes and add the chicken and cook until done. You can add more water if it is needed. There should be about 1/4-inch liquid in the pan. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the beaten egg evenly over the top of everything in the pan. AND DO NOT STIR. Continue to simmer until the egg becomes not runny. And slide it onto the top of a bed of rice in a bowl.
A beautiful bowl of comfort! I love that this is a recipe for one serving, perfect for a nice quiet lunch.
ReplyDeleteSounds excellent! I'm curious about the taste of the Tsuyu sauce, would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love all those beautiful gravy that flows through the rice.....mmmm....delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love oyakodon! Don generally means a rice dish (something over rice - for example, Unagi-Don is eel over rice), but I don't know the literal translation...
ReplyDeleteSounds excellent and tempting bowl..
ReplyDeleteThat rice dish looks so delicious. It has been a long while since I last had it....
ReplyDeleteDifferent and unique dish,havent heard abt this at all...looks good sook..
ReplyDeleteThank you SO so much! I loved eating Oyakodon when I was on holiday in Japan last fall! I love you for putting a recipe online <3 !
ReplyDeleteLooks so good but what is Tsuyu?
ReplyDeleteRita
This is comfort food!
ReplyDeleteThis is so simple and satisfying! My hubs would love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely delicious and healthy. I like to make this at home too.
ReplyDeleteI had a Japanese Chef who made this. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteIs the first ingredient Tsuyu or should it be shoyu (soy sauce)?
Sounds awesome! I wish I had learned enough Japanese to forget. Heh.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I buy tsuyu? I want to make this!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this if i could only be lucky enough to find Tsuyu sauce here!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteMany of you asked about Tsuyu sauce. We get ours at a oriental market in town. It is not soy sauce. It's a special sauce for Somen. The one we get is called "Somen noodle soup base" straight. It is excellent. I'll make a note of it in the post as well. Thanks for your comments!
What a gorgeous bowl of comfort food! I love the name - very clever!
ReplyDeleteAwww, it looks so delicious! I'm totally homesick thanks to you, Sook! *LOL*
ReplyDeleteYes yes...apparently it is the "parent and child" thing..."chicken and eggs" and even "salmon and roe" if you prefer fish ;p
ReplyDeleteLove Oyakodon but I seldom cook it. ;O
Ooooh, I wish I could make this for my mother..I know she would be reminded of her childhood home... beautiful post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good! You're lucky to have hubby who can cook.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! It looks soooo good!!!
ReplyDeleteParent and child.. that is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteChicken noodle is so fabulous - every culture has their own - I love it!
Sounds delicious! Wish my husband could cook something like this...instead I get burnt toast! ;)
ReplyDeleteDelish!!

Oyakodon is one of my favorites! That's wonderful that your husband knows how to make it, I think I need to teach mine now :)
ReplyDeleteI love oyakodon but never seem to make it. Thanks for this recipe. I have the tsuyu in the pantry so this is perfect! Also, thanks for stopping by my blog! Your blog is a lot of fun. - mary the food librarian
ReplyDeleteIt's been raining here... and would love to slurp oyakodon right now... will have to buy the tsuyu... is it in liquid form or powder, i'm curious as i never used it one before. thanks for sharing your faboulous recipes!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your delicious looking blog, Sook! Your photos are lovely & you have some creative & interesting looking dishes. I'm off to investigate some of your older posts.

So cute that the name means parent-child. Sound like an amazing dish and even better if your husband cooks it all on his own:D
