Oyako Donburi (Chicken & Egg with Rice)
Oyako Donburi literally means "parent-child rice bowl" because it's made with chicken (parent) and egg (child). It's a one bowl meal: fresh steamed rice topped with tender pieces of chicken and onions cooked with egg in a soy based sauce. If you have a family of big eaters, make extra rice.
