Chapter 8: Oyakodon Complete!
Author: こんどうさん Translator: Damyabo
I check the rice to see if it is cooked thoroughly.
Then I check the condition of the steaming hot chicken soup.
By thoroughly scooping up the emerging fat, a clear and beautiful tasting soup is made.
As I can use the remaining soup elsewhere, I should keep the extra soup too.
So, we will start making oyakodon now.
This time, there is no j.a.panese bowl for oyakodon.
So we have to find something to subst.i.tute for it.
As it is a diner here there are dinnerwares of various shape to choose.
Let’s use a big tea bowl over there for it.
First put some thin soup in a frying pan along with mixed seasonings (soy sauce, sake, mirin) and boil it.
Then put chicken meat and onion in it and boil them.
Don’t forget to put the lid on it.
Beat the egg in a separate container.
When the meat is still cooked, you have time to prepare a cup of freshly cooked rice.
When the chicken meat is cooked, slowly and evenly drizzle the lightly beaten egg over the chicken and onions and put the lid on it again.
Timing is essential in this, when the egg is half-baked, remove it from the stove and place it on the piping hot rice.
Finally put a mitsuba(j.a.panese parsley) on it, the oyakodon complete!
“Please enjoy this carefully prepared meal.”
I present a freshly made Oyakodon in front of the lady boss and her husband.
With a unique scent of freshly cooked rice and chicken, egg, and soup fuse together, a bowl of Oyakodon is here.
Two people swallow the saliva that springs into their mouth.
I think I am getting hungry too.
Using a spoon, I take a bite too.
The rice is over cooked a little bit, but it suits with the soup which sufficiently absorbs the chicken’s flavor, it brings out an unspeakable delicacy.
Chicken meat isn’t hard, but there is a good elasticity.
The meat juice are overflowing when I chew which largely stimulates an appet.i.te.
Although it may be a bit unsatisfactory by itself, either half-cooked egg or crispy onions, everything mixes and sublimes as one art piece.
“Refill please!”
While emptying a bowl of Oyakodon himself, a chef satisfyingly smiles at the two bosses who request their refills.
From the next day onwards, it goes without saying that “Specialty”- the signature dish of this cafeteria became Oyakodon.
TN: Sorry for words looking bland. Hehe, I gotta eat something too after translating it. Hope you guys hungry too
