Silky egg drop udon soup with chicken is a comforting Japanese-style noodle dish that combines tender chicken, thick udon noodles, and soft egg ribbons in a warm savory broth. This recipe builds flavor with a simple base such as dashi, chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, or green onion, allowing the chicken to simmer gently until juicy while adding depth to the soup. The egg is poured in slowly near the end so it forms delicate ribbons that make the broth smooth, light, and satisfying without becoming heavy. Chewy udon noodles absorb the savory broth, while mushrooms, spinach, wakame, sesame, or extra scallions can add freshness and aroma. The final bowl is warm, filling, and easy to serve for lunch or dinner, with tender chicken, silky egg, springy noodles, and a clean umami finish.

00:00Hey everyone, I'm Yuto and today on Stachi I'm going to show you how to make a quick,
00:04easy and delicious noodle dish called Oyakodon. Let's get started.
00:09Take a pan and heat it on medium with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add about 150 grams of
00:15chicken
00:16thigh with the skin side facing down and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
00:23Fry for about 3 minutes, then flip it and cook it on the other side for 2 minutes.
00:30Once it looks like this, take the pan off the heat and set it aside for later.
00:35This is a soupy udon dish, so next we're going to make the broth.
00:38Grab a pan and add 500ml of dashi stock,
00:48a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of mirin and half a teaspoon of grated ginger.
00:58Bring that to a boil over medium heat and then lower to simmer.
01:04If you're interested in making your own homemade dashi for this broth, check out my how to make dashi video.
01:10Ok, once that's simmering, make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cold water with 1 tablespoon of
01:18potato starch in a bowl. Pour it in and give it a quick mix to make sure it doesn't clump.
01:24This will thicken the soup and help the egg ribbons float tighter.
01:28Add the chicken from earlier along with the juices
01:34and about 30 grams of sliced negi, also known as Japanese leek.
01:40Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk them together until combined.
01:46Then increase the heat back to medium and pour it into the broth 1 third at a time.
01:52Each time you add the egg, wait for it to start floating back to the top before you add the
01:58next one.
02:02Let it cook a little bit before you mix it.
02:05This will create tender ribbons of egg floating through the broth.
02:10Once all the eggs are cooked, take the pan off the heat and let's serve.
02:15Here I have a bowl of cooked udon noodles that I have rinsed with hot water to remove any excess
02:22starch.
02:23Use a ladle to spoon the broth over the top like this.
02:28Finally, top it with some chopped green onions and a sprinkle of steamy jelly pepper.
02:36And that's it. Easy, warm and comforting Oyako Udon.
02:41Thank you everyone who voted. I hope you enjoyed that one.
