Oyako Donburi
pointers


Rice
Use long or (preferably) medium-grain rice.  If you don't have dashi, substitute unseasoned chicken stock.
Mirin
If you don't have it, substitute sake (or dry sherry) and 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) of sugar.
Pan
If your pan is not well seasoned, rub its interior with a light coating of vegetable oil before adding the liquid ingredients. This measure helps prevent the eggs from sticking in step 7.
Cooking liquid
Do not let the liquid boil in steps 6 and 7 or the chicken will shrink and toughen.
Eggs
Do not let the eggs become fully firm in step 7. They will continue to cook on top of the hot rice.
