Oyakodon literally means “parent-and-child rice bowl“. This Japanese classic is a comforting rice bowl dish, in which pieces of chicken thigh, egg, sliced spring onions, and white onions, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish.
