Oyakodon is a popular Japanese dish that consists of a rice bowl topped with chicken and eggs. The name "oyakodon" translates to "parent-and-child donburi," referring to the use of both chicken (the parent) and eggs (the child) in the recipe. The chicken is typically simmered with onions in a savory-sweet sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, and dashi before being combined with beaten eggs. This dish is often served over a bed of steamed rice, making it a comforting and satisfying meal. Oyakodon is commonly enjoyed in homes and restaurants across Japan, and it is appreciated for its simplicity and rich flavors.
