  6. When the meat begins to turn white, flip it over. If you want to give the dish a lighter flavor, use chicken breast or tenderloin instead of the thigh.

  7. When the chicken is almost cooked, add the mitsuba parsley. Then, distribute the beaten egg. By the way, a special pan called oyako nabe is often used to make oyakodon but you can substitute a small pan.

  8. Cover again. Cook the egg at least halfway through and then adjust the consistency to your taste. If you’re unsure about the quality of your eggs, please find pasteurized eggs or cook the egg completely.

Recipe Notes

We recommend cooking the rice with slightly less water to enjoy the oyakodon since it will absorb the remaining broth.
You can also top with sansho pepper or shredded nori seaweed to taste.

Thank you Francis & Chef! I’ve always loved this recipe since I was a teen, my partner and I now use this recipe all the time nd have memorized by heart!

Don’t worry. Mirin is alcohol when raw. But when applied with heat, it evaporates and just become mildly sweet liquid. You can taste it.
