How to Make Oyaku Don For Bento
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the 150g cubed chicken with 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium frying pan, heat 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp Hua Diao wine (or sherry), and 1 tbsp rice vinegar over medium heat.
- Add sugar: Once you see a few bubbles, add 1 tsp sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Cook the chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until fully cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Add onions: Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook until softened but not browned (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently pour in the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the chicken and onions.
- Scramble gently: Reduce heat to low and gently stir the eggs, ensuring they are cooked but not browned. The goal is to coat everything in a creamy egg mixture.
- Finish and serve: Once the eggs are cooked and there is very little liquid remaining, remove from heat.
- Serve immediately: Spoon the chicken and egg mixture over a bowl of cooked Japanese short-grain rice. Enjoy your Oyaku Don bento box!
