Pictorial: Oyakodon!

Chicken and egg on rice. Protein flash guaranteed. [1]

ingredients

1 X half chicken breast (mutant size)
2 X egg
3 X medium sized onion
150ml X dashi (~2/3 CUP, 1 TS instant dashi for 150ml water in my case)
1 TBSP mirin
1 TBSP sugar
3 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP cress (substitute for mitsuba)
1 CUP cooked japanese short grain rice



first step is to chop the oninos, two into fine slices and one into rough slices,
save the rough slices for later and make nest of the fine slices in a small pan,
medium heat, the oninos should roast very slowly



while the onions are browning, it's time to cube the chicken, I forgot to
take a pic of it, but place the cubed chicken onto the nest of sliced onions
in the heated pan, this is quite important because the weight of the chicken
will push down the onions, while increasing the contact surface between
onions and pan resulting in even more caramalization

the meantime can be used to prep the eggs and the broth, just crack the eggs
and mix whites and yolks, for the broth mix dashi, sugar, mirin and soy sauce



add the broth mix and roughly sliced onions,
the broth must cover the chicken, DO NOT STIR



let simmer until the broth reduced by at least a half, DO NOT STIR



there should be still liquid when adding the egg mix, DO NOT STIR (poking is okay)



let the egg mix set unitl the desired doneness kicks in, DO NOT STIR (poking is okay)
(I'm paranoid about salmonella, so it's "well done" for me)



when the oyako is almost done, then it's time to prep the don,
just make a bed of rice in a bowl (size of the pan if possible)



slide the content of the pan onto the rice, in one piece if possible,
topped with cress




The best part of eating it is when you reach the layer between
chicken/pan-facing-onions and rice, the remaing broth is dressing
the rice sligthly and the caramelized onions are showing up,
sorry no pics of that, I was really hungry and wolfed down the
whole bowl in a blink of an eye ^_^;

Noteworthy, the name of the dish is bit morbid:
oya=parent (chicken), ko=child (egg) and don=bowl,
literally "parent-and-child donburi".
