Oyako-don

When I was rummaging through the dark recesses of my kichen cabinets, I came across a bottle of dashi that M's mother had left. Alarms bells started ringing when I saw the expiry date: 8/12/2006. I decided to use it immediately. So I went online to check out what I can do with the dashi and Oyako don was the answer. Its really simple and easy to prepare, especially suited for quick dinners since M is coming home late these days. As a preliminary note, each bowl of oyako don should be prepared individually. Mix 40ml of dashi with 60 ml of chicken stock and bring to the boil in a pan. Add in diced chicken and diced onions and simmer till the chicken is cooked. Add mushrooms and simmer for around 2 minutes. Add in some spring onions and pour in beaten egg. Cook accordingly depending on how cooked you want your egg to be and pour over some cooked japanese rice. Serve with japanese chilli powder.

And to think I used to make oyako don without the dashi sauce...
