Oyako-don is one of my favorite rice bowl. Chicken, onion, and green onions (scallions) are common ingredients used in the traditional oyako-don. I added a slight twist by adding some mushrooms, garlic, and dashi in the sauce.

Oyako Don

Ingredients:
1) chicken (thigh)
2) soy-sauce
3) mirin
4) Cooking Sake
5) Brown sugar
6) Dashi
7) onions
8) green onions (negi, scallion)
9) minced garlic
10) eggs
11) rice
12) mushrooms
13) Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese 7 spices)
14) Nori

Procedure:
1) Prepare rice. Add slightly less water than usual. We don’t want the white rice to be sticky.
2) cut chicken thighs into small dices, onions into slices, and green onions into 1 inch pieces.
3) Prepare the sauce. Add water, soysauce, dashi, minced garlic, mirin, Cooking sake, brown sugar, and pepper. Adjust it until you like it (slightly sweet). Add the ingredients from step 2, and cook it for few minutes.
4) Beat an egg, and pour it over the cooking sauce (medium heat). Once the egg is slightly solidified (usually half done or fully cooked), pour it all over a rice.
5) Top it with Shichimi Togarashi and Nori
