Art of Making Fermented Oyakodon in Osaka

About

You may be familiar with Oyakodon, the classic Japanese rice dish featuring chicken and egg. Now, it's time to discover its sophisticated older sibling: koji oyakodon, prepared with fermented koji mold. Koji mold, a key ingredient found in miso and soy sauce, imparts a rich umami flavor to condiments and dishes.

Oyakodon, also called the "parent and child" dish, holds a cherished place as a comfort food in Japan. Comprising tender chicken and a fluffy layer of golden eggs atop warm rice, it's a beloved dish enjoyed throughout the year. In this cooking class, you'll elevate the traditional Oyakodon by substituting sugar with koji, adding a unique twist to the flavor profile.
