Oyakodon, a 3 day masterpiece or a 15-minute wonder

Thank you for sharing this. I think it was very relaxing to watch, and despite my considering myself a fairly experienced home cook, I do appreciate at least watching how things are cooked once so I can get a feel for the sequence and how ingredients should look and feel at each stage.

I love oyakodon, but have to say that my own attempts at trying to make this have only been so-so, so I’ve never made it much since. Never quite recaptured the deliciousness of having this in Japan. I’m now inspired again to give this another try. Personally I think this is what good cooking videos should be about – it’s not just modeling “professional techniques” (which if you can, all the power to you!). I think it’s giving folks a feel for the dish and the feeling that you can try this at home too.
