- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
Onion Stir-fry Sauce- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for your Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl. You’ll need 3 pieces of boneless leftover fried chicken, 1 onion, 1/2 stalk of green onion, 2 eggs, and 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise. For the onion stir-fry sauce, mix 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin), and 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide. (You can add 1 tsp of plum extract if you like.)
Step 2
Carefully remove the bones from your leftover chicken. Then, shred or cut the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces. This makes it easier to eat and helps the sauce penetrate better.
Step 3
Place the prepared chicken meat in a frying pan without any oil. Gently warm it over low heat. This method helps the chicken skin become slightly crispy while keeping the inside moist. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
Crack the eggs into a bowl, remove the chalazae (the white stringy bits), and whisk them well. Scramble the eggs until cooked. You don’t need to add salt at this stage, as the sauce will provide enough seasoning for the Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl.
Step 5
In a clean pan, add a little cooking oil and sauté the thinly sliced green onions until fragrant. Once the aroma of the green onions is released, add the sliced onion and stir-fry until it becomes translucent. Then, pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture.
Step 6
Cook the sauce until it reduces and the onions caramelize slightly. Stir-frying until they are lightly browned will enhance the sweetness of the onions and add a subtle smoky flavor, making it even more delicious. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 7
Transfer the freshly cooked warm rice into a serving bowl.
Step 8
Generously spoon the stir-fried onions over the rice. The sweet and savory onions will complement the rice beautifully, adding depth of flavor.
Step 9
Arrange the warmed chicken pieces on top of the rice and onions. Then, place the scrambled eggs around the edges. The colorful presentation will surely whet your appetite.
Step 10
Finally, drizzle mayonnaise evenly over the top according to your preference. Your delicious Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl is now ready! Mix everything together with your spoon – the rice, chicken, onions, and scrambled eggs – and enjoy this delightful meal.
