For my life, I can't remember when was the last time I made Oyako Don.  At one point I was whipping this  so often that I could do it with my eyes close.  Revisited what I posted 2 years ago to look up the recipe and realised that the photo was utterly crappy and I didn't revise the post to record the tweaks that I had made to the original recipe.  Gosh!

So here it goes again....

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 cup dashi 
• 2 tablespoon sugar 
• 4 tablespoon mirin 
• 4 tablespoon light soy sauce 
• 1 onion (sliced thinly) 
• 4 chicken thigh (cut into bite size pieces) 
• 4 eggs (break up yolks using chopsticks with a with zig-zag motion)

Preparation:

• Mix the dashi, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce. Divide into four portions. 
• In a small frying pan, heat up one portion of the mixture together with the onion. 
• Add chicken thigh in the pan as the sauce heats up. 
• Cover the pan and let the chicken cook. 
• Pour the eggs into the pan and let simmer until egg is 90% done. 
• Slip the entire mixture from the pan onto a steaming bowl of rice. 
• Top with seaweed or spring onion if desired.

Number of servings: 4
