This recipe is a chicken tempura and egg rice bowl, an application of the ideas from ‘Food Spoiler King Choi Kang-rok Chef’, using leftover chicken after watching baseball. It uses 8 pieces of BBQ Golden Olive Hot Crispy Chicken as the main ingredient, and requires water, seasoned soy sauce, sugar, seasoned kelp, chicken stock, onion, eggs, salt, Cheongyang chili peppers, green onions, and pepper.
The cooking process begins by putting water and sliced onions in a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot) and adding seasoned soy sauce, chicken stock, sugar, and seasoned kelp. After removing the kelp, add the warmed chicken to the translucent onions. Then, pour in the beaten egg mixture, and when the eggs are 90% cooked, add green onions and chili peppers to finish. If you don’t have Choi Kang-rok Chef’s seasoned soy sauce, using broth made from katsuobushi and kelp instead of chicken stock is also acceptable.
This dish has a taste similar to Japanese Oyakodon, and the combination of chicken tempura soaked in broth and soft egg is excellent. The husband enjoyed it, and there’s a review suggesting that adding more Cheongyang chili peppers would make it even tastier.
