Oyako Donburi (Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl)

Oyako Donburi (Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl)

Warm and cozy, this chicken and egg dish is comfort food made easy. Dashi is best to complement the other flavors of this recipe. You can use store bought (we like Hondashi granules) or chicken stock in a pinch.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with firm tofu.
  • For a gluten free option, substitute soy sauce for tamari.
  • Top with togarashi for extra flavor.
  • If dashi is not available, use chicken stock instead.
