Oyakodon (lit. “parent-and-child rice bowl”) is a popular variety of donburi (rice bowl) that makes for a perfect quick and easy yet satisfying meal. It gets its unique name from its two central ingredients: chicken (parent) and egg (child). Both the chicken and egg are simmered in umami-rich dashi then served on top of a hot bowl of rice.
