OYAKO DON

A little story about the name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyakodon

Ingredients

• eggs
• chicken fillet
• sliced onion
• mirin (sweet, rice wine), soya sauce, dashi (stock made from bonito and seaweed)
• takuan (yellow,pickled radish), pepper flakes, chopped spring onion

Well, it doesn't quite look like the stuff you get in a Jap restaurant - but I was cooking this for the next day's lunch .

After reheating it in the microwave oven, the egg, sorta separated from the stock (yikes!). Oh well, Guess this is one of those things you gotta serve fresh from the fire!

Oyako Don - did you like it?

Yes! More! Yes. Ok lah, not great. Not my cup of tea, thanks!
