Cooking tips 💡
- When beating the eggs, do not mix the whites and yolks completely; leave them slightly separated so the whites retain their tender texture when cooked, giving the oyakodon its characteristic taste.
- It is recommended to use chicken thighs rather than breast, as the moderate fat content makes the meat tender and juicy.
