I hope all of you have enjoyed the first threee japanese dishes
that I have introduced.
Today, I shall introduce Oyako don(buri) (chicken and egg over
rice).
Ingredients:
1. 1/4 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2. about 2 oz. chicken breast, sliced
3. Shiitake mushrooms (fresh or dry), thinly sliced, if
available
4. 2 or 3 snow peas, julienned (cut into long thin strips)
5. 2 stalks green onion, chopped in 1 to 2 inch lengths
6. 1 egg, beaten
[Dashi]:
1. 1/2 tsp dashi no moto, dissolved in 1/2 cup of water, or you may
substitute 2. 1/2 cup chicken stock
3. 2 tablespoons or more soy sauce*, as needed
4. 1 tablespoon or more brown sugar*, adjusted for desired
sweetness
* you can adjust these while cooking the vegetables and meat.
one serving freshly cooked Japanese-style rice
Directions:
In a small skillet, place the sliced yellow onion, sliced shiitake
mushrooms and dashi. Cook for 2 to 3 miniutes until the onion is
tender. While cooking, add the chicken slices and green onion. When
the chicken is cooked, spread the beaten egg over the vegetables
and meat. Sprinkle the julienned snow peas on top immediately. Cook
until the egg hardens partially or completely, as you like. Pour a
little of the sauce on top.
To serve, you may put the rice on a dinner plate and place your gu
on top of the rice. Or you may serve it in the same way in a
donburi. If you cook for two or more, use a large skillet, divide
the gu (topping), then serve.
Enjoy....
