Easy Oyakodon Recipe (Walmart-friendly ingredients)

Oyakodon is a delicious and comforting Japanese dish made with chicken, egg, and rice. Here’s a recipe using ingredients you can find at Walmart:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked white rice (Cooked in advance)
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon mirin (rice wine)** (Optional, substitute with 1 additional tablespoon soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon sake (rice wine)** (Optional, substitute with 1/2 tablespoon water)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 scallion, thinly sliced (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking oil

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, mirin (or additional soy sauce), sake (or water), and sugar. Marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Heat a pan: Add cooking oil to a large pan (or skillet) and heat it over medium heat.
3. Cook the chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add the sauce: Pour in the marinade and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional minute.
5. Add the eggs: Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pan, allowing them to cook around the edges and chicken.
6. Assemble the Oyakodon: Turn off the heat. Spoon the cooked rice into two bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken and egg mixture. Garnish with sliced scallions (optional). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

• If you can’t find mirin at Walmart, you can substitute it with an equal amount of rice wine vinegar mixed with a pinch of sugar.
• You can also use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Just adjust the cooking time slightly, as thighs take a bit longer to cook through.
• For a richer flavor, use dashi broth instead of chicken broth. You can find pre-made dashi at most grocery stores, including Walmart.
• Enjoy Oyakodon with a side of miso soup or pickled vegetables.

Walmart Ingredient Substitutions:

• Mirin: Rice wine vinegar + sugar
• Sake: Water
• Dashi broth: Chicken broth

This recipe is easily customizable based on your preferences and what’s available at your local Walmart.
