POV Oyakodon

  • Опубліковано 9 тра 2024
  • Oyakodon is simple Japanese home cooking. It translates to "parent and child rice bowl," and refers to the use of chicken and egg. You simmer chicken and onion (or leek or scallion, or whatever) in a mixture of dashi, soy sauce, sake, and sugar, then stir in a beaten egg and cook it until just barely set, and slide it all out over a bowl of rice. If you have mitsuba (japanese three-leaf herb), that's a very common addition as well. It takes about 10 minutes to make and makes a nice, simple meal.
    I add an extra egg yolk to mine, but you don't have to.
    Here's the full recipe on Serious Eats: www.seriouseats.com/2016/08/h...
    PLEASE READ!
    The coronavirus has hit many folks hard, including first responders and hospital workers, individuals and families who were already food insecure, and service industry employees who are, for the large part, currently out of a job.
    My goal is to help fix both these problems in the best way I know how to contribute: organizing people, and cooking food.
    If you would like to donate to our free meal fund, head to www.toasttab.com/wursthall/ where you can buy a boxed meal for someone in need. These boxes go directly to the frontline workers and food insecure families who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. They also allow me to hire back my kitchen team to cook and pack these meals (in a safe, clean way). So far we have served nearly 500 meals, and the number goes up every week.
    If you would like to make a monthly recurring donation of any size, head to my Patreon account at / kenjilopezalt . 100% of the proceeds go directly to the free meal fund. You can also help by buying my books at bookshop.org/shop/kenjilopezalt where 100% of my sales commission goes to the free meal fund, and an additional 10% goes to independent book stores around the country.
    Finally, stay safe. Here is my guide to food safety and the coronavirus, written with the consultation of virologists, food safety experts, and infectious disease specialists, and kept up to date as new research emerges: www.seriouseats.com/2020/03/f...

      In Japan, they will feed the chickens paprika to make the yolks redder. But also in Japan, they will sometimes go to some effort to feed the chickens good seeds and grains to improve the quality of the eggs, but not always. Premium eggs are more expensive, of course. I do not know about the nutritional benefit of using paprika. I am sure good seeds and grains will add a nutritional benefit to the eggs.

    I appreciate it SO much when TV chefs make a recipe and go "oh, but you can just use a skillet. oh, but you can use regular onion too." Kenji's approach to food gives me a huge boost of confidence in the kitchen. I remember him saying in another video: "Some people would say it's not 'authentic'. I say I -don't care-. It tastes good." And that's a mood.

    Do you keep the egg shells in the box until they're all gone?
    How frequently do you wash the towels?
    Do you have separate cutting boards for meats and non meats?
    When did you learn about the table top trashcan? I found out this was convenient one summer while cooking at home and just used a yogurt container as a trashcan.
    How frequently do you clean your kitchen counter tops?
    You seem to use a loooooot of cooking utensils /containers compared to what I'm used to. Do you clean these immediately after cooking? Is it ever annoying?

Japanese green Sichuan peppers called sansho are often used in the Kyoto/Osaka area. Black pepper is used sometimes. In different areas dried Shiso seeds or leaves are added. Usually there are just 7 spices but sometimes 10 spices are used, sometimes only black spices are used. There are all kinds of local variations.

    Kenji cooking at home makes me feel so much better about my own cooking at home. He forgets things. He improvises. He keeps a wonky cabinet closed with a wooden spoon!

    Whenever I microwave leftover rice, we put a wet paper towel over it on top of it while it's microwaving. It makes the rice less hard.

      I just sprit or pulse some water in the rice, works pretty well.

      Or put a small ceramic container (espresso cup) with water inside beside the rice.
      This also works charm with pizza or any other pastry.
