Oyoko Don

Wow! A recipe. For some reason whenever I think of this dish I hear "parent and child" in the back of my head. This is a Japanese dish and want to say a friend of mine told me that is what oyoko don means, but it could just be random voices in my head, so don't quote me. Does anyone speak Japanese? Anyway, it is an easy recipe involving chicken, egg and rice.

I have to be up front and let you know that my family doesn't like this one, but they can't tell me why. ??? I like it and actually think it tastes better as left overs. I tried cooking the eggs separately this time hoping that would make it look more appetizing to my family, but usually you just cook it in the hot soupy sauce.

* 4 chicken breast, cooked and cubed
* 3 cups chicken broth
* 1/2 cup soy sauce
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 2 sliced green onion
* sliced mushrooms
* 4 stirred eggs
(In an effort to appease my family I left out the green onion and mushrooms. I should have put them in since I'm eating all the left overs by myself.)

1. Add chicken broth, soy sauce and sugar to a skillet and heat till bubbly. Add chicken, onions, and mushrooms and heat until bubbly again. Stir in eggs. The eggs will cook in the hot soupy mixture. Serve over rice.

My variation:

Cook the eggs.

Add the chicken.













Add the broth, soy sauce, and sugar.
Serve over rice.

This sounds so yummy to me and I KNOW my family wouldn't eat it. Picky, picky!
I almost want to join your fitness challenge, but I'm so enjoying the life of sloth and gluttony that I adopted on our recent vacation. Sigh.

LOL, a life of sloth and gluttony beckons to me too. However, I refuse to grow a writer's butt. Just saying. I'm on day 3 and so far I feel good. I've been keeping it simple. I've run 3 days in a row--just 2 or 2.5 miles walking when I need to. And I've kept track of my calories to keep it within 1400 calories. I'm not going to weigh myself for a while and give my body time to readjust to the change.

I gave in and ate at Taco Bell for lunch. My excuse was "this is a mommy daughter day for me and Ashlee". If the online counter is right, I kept it under 400 calories.

Join, use a fake name and make it what you need right now. I still haven't done the sit ups or the 5K. I might not. And, if you try the oyoko don, try freezing it and let me know how that works. I have lots of 1 serving size meals in my freezer because my family doesn't like them, but I do. :)
