Main Ingredients- 200g mixed grain rice (warmed)
- 200g chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 tsp olive oil
Sauce- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp allulose (or sugar)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp allulose (or sugar)
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the chicken breast lengthwise along the grain. Thinly slice the peeled onion. Preparing the ingredients in advance will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent. The key here is to cook the onions slowly to bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 3
Once the onions are about halfway translucent, add the sliced chicken breast. Stir-fry until the surface of the chicken turns white. Spreading the chicken evenly in the pan will help it cook faster.
Step 4
When the chicken is almost cooked through, pour in 1 cup of water, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp allulose, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Step 5
Once the sauce is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour the beaten eggs over the mixture, starting from the edges and moving in a circular motion. Immediately cover the pan and let it cook until the eggs are about 80% done. Avoid overcooking, as it can make the eggs dry. Aim for a slightly undercooked, moist texture.
Step 6
Serve the chicken and egg mixture over the warm mixed grain rice for a delicious Oyakodon! (Note: I accidentally overcooked the eggs, but you should aim for a soft, custardy texture!).
