Oyakodon is a delicious staple in any Japanese household - consisting of chicken, onion and egg simmered in a savory broth, and served over fresh steamed rice. It's the perfect easy, one-pan meal that coincidentally doesn't require any oil in the cooking process, making it a light and healthy option too!

- Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
- Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary. It should be savory and slightly sweet.

Notes
- Make sure you use a good quality dashi for this dish.
- Feel free to substitute monkfruit erythritol sweetener with any other sweetener of choice.
- I used chicken thigh for this recipe but feel free to use chicken breast if you prefer.
- Shichimi togarashi is a Japanese chili powder that can be found in Asian grocery stores. Feel free to omit if you don't have it.
