Oyakodon - Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl

Some call it Oyakodonburi or Parents & Child Bowl.

It is easy to pepare when you can let your butcher skin the chicken thighs for you. I asked and showed my hand and he did it for me. The skin with the bit of leftover meat gave a good half liter of chicken stock later. I used for the dish a bit of this chicken stock. It is very tasty and super easy to prepare.
Usually in Japanese kitchen some use Mitsuba leaves as greens. I can´t get any here. So you could use spring onions or as I did, I mixed some fresh chives with fresh dill.

recipe for chicken stock:
600 ml water
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
2 skins of the chicken thighs
1 carrot
4 pieces of green tops of frozen leek
1 bay leaf

Chuck everything into a pot and bring to a boil and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes, drain.

recipe for the Oyakodon:
2 skinless and boneless chicken thighs
1/2 large onion
2 tbsp chopped chives
1 tbsp chopped dill
5 tbsp chicken stock
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 pinch of dashi powder
2 eggs beaten
pepper
1 cup Japanese short grain rice

Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
Chop the onion into rough cubes or strips.

In a pot add the liquids and heat them up, add onion and chicken and cook that until the chicken is nearly done, add the chopped greens
