If you like the taste of OYAKODON, why not make one with frozen seafood??
I have already made a standard chicken OYAKODON & vegetarian OYAKODON recipe before.
If you have any frozen seafood mix in your freezer, you are one step closer in enjoying this recipe!
Also, this seafood OYAKODON can be a great option if you get bored with the traditional OYAKODON. The seafood OYAKODON does taste a little different with the taste of the ocean! Enjoy!

<Miwa’s tips>
・By thawing the seafood in salted water, you can remove the fishy smell while still retaining the texture of the seafood.
・You can add in mushrooms, leeks and carrots for more options.
・If you don't like the smell of shellfish then add in some grated ginger!
・You don't have to whisk the eggs completely. We want the egg yolks and the whites to remain separate in a bowl, so that you can enjoy the different textures and colors when it is served over rice.
