Chicken and Egg Donburi

August 9, 2013 by Liza Agbanlog 1 Comment

Chicken and Egg Donburi

It’s our last day in Calgary today. It has been a great week bonding with my husband and three sons. These are the times that I will remember and forever cherish. I am already looking forward to our next time together come Christmas time. For our last day here, my oldest son and I went to check out some food trucks in the downtown area. Alberta is famous for its beef, so we tried a food truck that served prime rib sandwiches and salads. We were not disappointed; it was delicious!

The recipe that I am sharing today is a popular Japanese rice bowl dish: chicken and egg donburi. Bite-sized pieces of chicken were cooked over a mixture of sweet sauce consisting of sake, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, onion and chicken broth and then beaten eggs were added to thicken the sauce. This dish is so simple and easy to make; an ideal dish to make after a long day at work. 😀

    I used to cook this a lot when I lived in Japan for a year. If I remember correctly, this is called oyako…meaning mother and child because of the combination of chicken (mother) and eggs (child)…thanks for bringing back memories, I have to cook this again. It is delicious!
