In Japanese oyako literally means “parents and children” and don is short for “donburi,” which is food served on top of rice in a bowl. This recipe calls for boiled chicken covered with beaten egg (hence the “parent/child” metaphor). Many udon restaurants serve Oyakodon in Japan.
Yield: 2 servings
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 0.4 lb of chopped chicken
- 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
- 2 beaten eggs
Spices
- 3 tsp mirin
- 3 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sake
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp hon-dashi
(soup stock powder)
- 2 tsp chopped seaweed (optional)
Preparation
- Boil 1 cup of water in frying pan, add hondashi
- Add mixed spices (mirin, soy sauce, sake and sugar) then mix in onion and chicken
- After the mixture boils, cover for 5 minutes over medium heat
- Drizzle egg over mixture and cover again for 30 seconds on high (longer if you prefer your eggs well done)
- Serve in a bowl over steamed rice
- Sprinkle seaweed on top(if desired)

This turned out SO good!! I’m really glad that I found this site and am excited to try more of your recipes. Thank you for sharing!! : )
I have been making this dish for my family for 30 years! It’s so delicious and easy.
We add carrots and green onions. It adds even more flavor (and color) to the dish.
This is what I made for dinner last night and it was delish. It’s the first time I’ve tried dashi and I am surprised to learn that I like it!
Thank you, Mai, for posting all of these recipes. This is an awesome website!

Wow, I love your site… wonderful Japanese meals made easy! However, I do have a question – I normally make my own dashi from scratch, so how much liquid should I use instead of the hon-dashi powder? Thanks! :)
