OYAKO DONBURI - A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE DISH
Here is a traditional japanese dish that I consider "comfort food". It is also a favorite dish in Hawaii. Whenever I make this and sit down to cuddle up with my bowl of Oyako Donburi, I am totally embraced with memories of my mom's love. Oyako means - mother and child, so goes to say, chicken and egg. Donburi means - rice...

Steps:
- 1. IMPORTANT NOTE: The bamboo shoot is optional as quite a few people find the aroma and taste objectionable.
- 2. Prepare your shiitake mushrooms by soaking it in water, it must be reconstituted. The amount of time differs, but when it becomes pliable then squeeze the excess water out and slice it thinly.
- 3. Cut your chicken thigh or breast into bite size pieces, take off the skin and also try to cut off the fat.
- 4. In a large deep skillet pan add the dashi or chicken broth, shoyu, water, mirin, sugar. On medium high heat, boil to dissolve the sugar.
- 5. Add your chicken pieces, sliced round onions, sliced shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, let simmer for 15 minutes.
- 6. Add slightly beaten eggs in the center of the pan and let simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes, it really depends how cooked you want the eggs to be.
- 7. Turn off the heat and sprinkle some green onions over the egg and slightly mix everything together. Put your hot rice in a bowl and spoon your Oyako Donburi over the rice. Yummmmm . . . enjoy!
