Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the sweet and savory onion sauce that makes this Chicken Mayo bowl so delicious. Take half an onion and slice it thinly. The thinner the slices, the better the sauce will penetrate and the tastier it will be.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced onions with the sauce ingredients: 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons of water.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the bowl.
Step 4
Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for a rich, umami flavor.
Step 5
Add 3 tablespoons of water to adjust the sauce consistency.
Step 6
Stir everything together with a spoon until well combined and the sugar has dissolved. Your sauce is ready!
Step 7
Now, let’s prepare the star ingredient: 3 pieces of microwaveable karaage from Costco.
Step 8
Follow the cooking instructions on the product packaging and heat them in the microwave. Cooking times can vary by product, so please check the package.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs. We’ll be making fluffy scrambled eggs to add a creamy texture.
Step 10
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the eggs. This helps to enhance the flavor and reduce any eggy smell.
Step 11
Add a pinch of black pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 12
Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Aim for a smooth, lump-free consistency.
Step 13
Place a small non-stick frying pan over low heat and let it preheat. Keeping the heat low is key to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly or burning.
Step 14
Add a generous amount of cooking oil or butter to the pan. Swirl it around to ensure the entire surface is coated for soft scrambled eggs.
Step 15
Add the thinly sliced onions to the pan and sauté them gently until they become translucent. The onions should soften and develop a slight sweetness.
Step 16
Once the onions turn translucent and start to soften, it’s time to add them to the delicious sauce.
Step 17
Pour the prepared sweet and savory onion sauce over the sautéed onions. Stir gently to coat the onions and allow the sauce to be absorbed.
Step 18
Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce is slightly reduced and coats the onions beautifully. Your delicious onion sauce is ready! Turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 19
Now, let’s make the soft scrambled eggs. Place a clean frying pan back over low heat and add a little oil.
Step 20
Use a paper towel to spread a thin, even layer of oil across the entire pan. This helps the eggs cook evenly and prevents sticking.
Step 21
Carefully pour the whisked eggs into the preheated pan. Try to spread them thinly for a delicate texture.
Step 22
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Don’t overcook them; you want them to remain moist.
Step 23
Continue cooking until there are no uncooked parts, ensuring they are fully cooked but still tender. Avoid high heat, which can make them dry.
Step 24
Take out the microwave-ready karaage once it’s cooked. The delicious aroma should be filling your kitchen!
Step 25
Cut the warm karaage into bite-sized pieces using chopsticks or a knife. It’s best to cut them into relatively large pieces to maintain a satisfying texture.
Step 26
Now, let’s assemble our delicious Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl. Prepare a deep bowl and press 1 bowl of warm cooked rice firmly into it.
Step 27
Arrange the fluffy scrambled eggs around the edges of the rice, creating a decorative border. This makes the bowl look even more appealing, almost like flower petals.
Step 28
Gently press down on the rice in the center to create a slight hollow. This will hold the sauce and chicken.
Step 29
Generously spoon the sweet and savory onion sauce into the hollow you created on top of the rice. The sweetness of the onions and the savory sauce will blend perfectly with the rice.
Step 30
Arrange the cut karaage pieces on top of the onion sauce. Piling them high will make the bowl extra hearty and delicious.
Step 31
Finally, the crowning touch of the Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl: drizzle a generous amount of mayonnaise over everything. You can create a zigzag pattern or any design you like!
Step 32
And there you have it – a wonderfully delicious Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl! To enjoy, scoop up a bit of chicken, onion sauce, mayonnaise, scrambled egg, and rice all together in one bite. Experience the fantastic harmony of flavors that will fill your mouth. Enjoy your meal!
