  1. Pan-fry chicken thighs until golden, cut with scissors, and stir-fry with onion and enoki mushrooms.
  2. Pour a mixture of eggs, mirin, chamchi aek, soy sauce, and sugar over the top, cover, and cook for exactly 20 seconds.

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.
