One of my favorite Japanese food.
First, a translation of oyako donburi.
oya - parent.
ko - child.
oyako - a single word for parent-and-child.
donburi - a big bowl with lots of rice on the bottom and other food on top.
oyako donburi - a donburi with
rice,
chicken meat, chicken eggs, onions, and optionally,
mushroom.
If literally translated, it is "family meal", except we eat the family.
Recipe
- Cook rice.
- Cut up onion, mushroom, and chicken.
- Grease sauté pan with butter or corn oil.
- Sauté onion and mushroom over medium heat.
- Sauté chicken over medium heat.
- Mix sauce - 150mL katsuo dashi, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin (or sake and sugar can be substituted).
- Pour sauce over the pan and cook a little bit.
- Scramble egg and pour over and cook a little bit.
- Flip it onto a bowl of rice.
"Voilà"
