Oyakodon is a classic Japanese rice bowl meal that combines tender chicken and beaten eggs in a flavourful sauce and is served over steamed rice. The term “oyakodon“ means “parent-and-child donburi“ in English, and represents the combination of chicken (the parent) and eggs (the kid). Oyakodon has a flavour that is pleasant, balanced, and delicately sweet. The sauce has a complex umami flavour that combines the savoury notes of soy sauce with the delicate sweetness of mirin. Tender chicken and soft onions add a pleasant texture, while eggs add a creamy, custard-like consistency. Oyakodon, when eaten with fluffy steamed rice, provides a balanced blend of flavours and textures that is both hearty and delicious. Oyakodon is popular in Japan due to its ease of preparation, short cooking time, and great flavour. It is commonly enjoyed as a full lunch or dinner option and is regarded as a soul-warming comfort food. Happy cooking!
