About Oyakodon

Oyakodon is a popular Japanese rice bowl dish combining tender chicken, soft-cooked eggs, and sweet-savory flavors. Its name translates to "parent-and-child bowl," symbolizing the use of both chicken and eggs in the recipe. This comforting meal starts with bite-sized chicken simmered in a mixture of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin, creating a delicate yet flavorful broth. The eggs are lightly whisked and cooked until just set, then poured over the chicken, and the combination is served atop a bed of steamed rice. Oyakodon provides protein from the chicken and eggs, along with energy-boosting carbohydrates from the rice. While high in sodium due to soy sauce, its simple ingredients offer a wholesome option free of heavily processed components. Balanced and satisfying, Oyakodon is a staple in Japanese cuisine, celebrated for both its ease of preparation and harmony of flavors.
