About Oyako don

Oyako Don, a classic Japanese dish, translates to "parent-and-child bowl," symbolizing its primary ingredients: chicken and eggs. Served atop a bed of steamed rice, this comforting meal combines tender chicken simmered in a savory-sweet broth made with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and dashi, along with lightly cooked eggs that create a delicate, velvety layer. Often garnished with scallions or nori, Oyako Don is a popular choice for its simplicity and balanced flavors. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of protein from the chicken and eggs, as well as carbohydrates from the rice for sustained energy. While it contains sodium due to the soy sauce, it can fit well within a balanced diet when portioned appropriately. Its wholesome ingredients make it a filling and nutritious option, loved for its comforting appeal in Japanese home cooking.
