Chef Dai demonstrates how to make “Oyakodon” – a simple yet delicious Japanese rice bowl recipe with tender, juicy nuggets of chicken and fluffy, creamy egg.
Ingredients:
Chicken Thigh x 1 (deboned and butterflied)

small white onion x 1/2 small
Egg x 1
Dashi Stock x 5 Tbsp (alternatively use instant stock powder)

Dark soy sauce x 1 Tbsp
Mirin x 1 Tbsp
Sugar x 1 Tbsp
Spring onion x 1
Steamed Rice x 1 bowl
Thinly cut Nori Seaweed (optional)
Mitsuba herb x 2 stalks, cut into 2cm pieces (optional)
Takuan pickles
Oyakodon (親子丼), literally means “parent-and-child rice bowl”. This Japanese classic is a comforting rice bowl dish, in which pieces of chicken thigh, egg, sliced spring onions and white onions, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish.

What can you use as for replacement for dashi stock?
He sounds so fed up with life
i’m just watching out of curiosity, but if someone wants to make this for me, please do! X3
I will try tonight
I would love to try eat that but the name of item not easy to find in USA 🙁 Also I’m not a meat cutter.
I love Japanese food but this dish looks gross af. I hate undercook chicken or undercooked eggs. Also crazy hearing asian guy with british accent, first time i heared it lol
Firebats outro anyone?
yum……
Now i REALLY have to find where to get Mirin because so many recipes i’m interested in use it and it must be crucial and unique to these dishes because no alternatives have ever been offered to my knowledge. –
May I know the best substitute for the mirin? Is regular vinegar okay? Love how simple and easy this recipe is.
what should I substitute with if I don’t want to use mirin
can i use creamed/condensed sweet soy sauce ?
more like oyakoDON’T, you should sear the chicken first to add more texture and flavour then add the sauce
Thank you!
omg this is the best thing ever, british accent with japanese food
although the chef is japanesse but the accent is british wow
I don’t like how he ate all the seaweeds in one bite leaving like non for the rest of the meal >.<
i’m going to try this. thank you. 🙂
oh my god!!!
wow looks delicious… so should i use Vinegar instead Mirin , not sure its available here in local market.
Japanese Dark and Light Soy sauces are different from ordinary dark/light soy sauce. How to know which is which? And in case of the absence of said ingredients, can I substitute is for ordinary ones?
Also, can I skip mirin entirely as it contains alchohol? Or better yet a substitute for it.
watchin this while eating white rice help a lot . . . .
Mom and child in a bowl. Savage.
You can’t do this to me!! I’ve already had my dinner and I’m hungry again :””’ lol
Tamahide Restaurant in Tokyo is very famous for that – Well done and Thank You Sensei Dai San
What can i replace mirin with? Honey?
Loved making this! I actually cooked the oignon and chicken only first to caramelize and deglazed it with the sauce after. Added some siracha mayo to the finished dish, was the bomb!
Why am i watching this at 2am? I’m starving and i have homework fml
Dude ate all the seaweed in one bite. Japan Neanderthal
Sea weeds sucks
How much dashi powder is needed to make the dashi stock?
I tried this a few times, and I personally like to reduce the sugar to teaspoon instead of tablespoon.
Looks good bruv
Can I use more than one egg or is that going to ruin it?
Nice translation of dish name
holy shit.
Oya-Parent. in this case it means the chicken.Ya means the egg/child. DON-means rice bowl. DON’T take the egg and call it oyako DON when the egg and the chicken ain’t even on the rice yet
I clearly dont have the Dashi here in my country (Chile), is there any replacement ?? what about Mirin Also… I would like to attempt a different kind of Oyakodon, but using the same concept, if its possible
what can I replace the mirin and dashi stockwith..? I hope I got the spelling right…I don’t think I’ll get these ingredients in my grocery store( Gurgaon,India)
does he know Firebat?
