Oyako donburi is the Japanese name for this bowl of steamed rice. ‘Don’ refers to a way of serving cooked rice with toppings of some kinds over a base of white rice. This makes a quick and convenient lunch for the Japanese.
The word ‘oyako’ is very meaningful, literally, it means ‘mother and daughter’. It is interesting, isn’t it? The main ingredients for this time’s topping is chicken and egg. At first, when thinking about chicken and egg, I thought there would not be so much fun as chicken or egg is so basic and familiar. However, I was wrong after tasting what I made. Wonderful! This chicken and egg offered a very distinctive flavor and texture. The ingredients, the cooking method are quite simple, but the final product is great. It was out of my imagination because this was my first time making a ‘don’ like this.
