Tag: 親子丼

I made oyakodon 親子丼 (my 2nd favorite food) the other day. I followed this recipe from Just One Cookbook and it came out pretty good! I overcooked the eggs a bit because I wasn’t sure if my son’s girlfriend liked runny eggs or not, but it was still yummy. I made a few servings using small single-serving pans, and for the last serving I used a lid to cover the pan. This one turned out the best, with plenty of sauce left, and the egg cooked more evenly. Must keep that in mind for next time!

Anyways, the leftovers were delicious. 😋

Tonight I made oyakodon 親子丼 for the kids and I using a recipe from Just One Cookbook and it turned out pretty good! The recipe is for 2 servings, and uses two chicken thighs, but I upped the quantity to three.

However, after I defrosted the thighs, I noticed that it was more like 5 thighs, and not 3, so when I made the dish, the sauce wasn’t as flavorful as it should have been. It still tasted great. But I’ll remember to make more sauce or use the right amount of chicken.

Mariko had to work tonight, but she left some oyakodon half prepped for Koa and I on the stove. All I had to do was to add three mildly beaten eggs to the already cooked chicken in broth and cook to the desired done-ness before putting it over a bowl of rice, which was in the cooker and timed to be finished at 6:30 pm. Yay! By the way, oyakodon is my favorite food. It’s just a simple comfort food, but I just love it. Oyakodon and okonomiyaki are probably tied for the top spot… I could live off of these two dishes for the rest of my life. (and sushi, curry, burgers, pizza, burritos, ramen, Jamaican patties. etc… 😆)
