Using the Egg to bind the ingredients that are cooked in the saucer or soup is a very popular cooking technic in Japanese cuisine. ‘Oyako Don’ is one example. Today I cooked Garlic Chives and Eggs in this method to make this rice bowl dish. A super quick and easy, and very Japanese flavoured dish.

  1. Place Dashi Stock, Salt, Soy Sauce and Sugar in a small frying pan or saucepan, add Garlic Chives, cover with a lid, and bring to the boil over medium heat. When it is boiling, Garlic Chives should be softened.
