Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for your Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl. You’ll need 2-3 pieces of leftover fried chicken as the main star. If you don’t have fried chicken, frozen chicken nuggets are a great substitute! Also, grab 2 eggs and about 1/4 of an onion. For the sauce, you’ll need soy sauce, corn syrup (or sugar), Worcestershire sauce (or oyster sauce), mayonnaise, tonkatsu sauce, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
First, shred the leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces. Carefully remove the meat from any bones. Then, heat a lightly oiled pan and gently stir-fry the chicken pieces until they are slightly crispy and warmed through. This step helps to reintroduce flavor and texture to the chicken.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious rice bowl sauce! Start by sautéing the onion. Heat about 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Once the onion is soft, stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of corn syrup (or sugar), and 1 tablespoon (or about half a spoon) of Worcestershire sauce or oyster sauce for extra depth of flavor. Continue to cook until the sauce slightly thickens. This sauce recipe is for approximately 2 servings, so feel free to adjust as needed.
Step 4
Next, let’s prepare the scrambled eggs. Lightly oil another pan over low heat. Crack the 2 eggs into the pan and gently whisk them with chopsticks while they cook. Stir continuously to create soft, fluffy curds. Be careful not to overcook them or let them brown.
Step 5
And there you have it! All the components for your spectacular Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl are ready. We have the warm rice, the deliciously sautéed chicken, the sweet and savory sauce, and the fluffy scrambled eggs. It looks fantastic already!
Step 6
For the finishing touch that makes this a ‘Chicken Mayo’ bowl, we’ll prepare the signature drizzle. All you need are some store-bought tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise. These two sauces are key to achieving that classic, addictive flavor.
Step 7
Finally, let’s assemble your beautiful rice bowl! Start by placing a generous serving of warm rice in a large bowl. Spoon the onion and soy sauce mixture (your delicious rice bowl sauce) over the rice. Then, artfully arrange the sautéed chicken pieces on top. Add a little more of the rice bowl sauce over the chicken, and then carefully place the fluffy scrambled eggs around the edges. To complete the masterpiece, drizzle the tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise decoratively over everything. Your delightful Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl is now ready to be devoured! Enjoy this simple yet incredibly satisfying meal!
