Oyakodon is a popular Japanese dish that literally translates to “parent-and-child donburi”. It’s made by simmering chicken and beaten egg in a broth and served over a bed of fluffy steamed rice. This is one of those super easy yet flavourful dishes that you can prepare at home in about 15-20 minutes.

      Hey, I just used instant bonito dashi that I got from the Japanese store! You can use chicken stock, works well as a quick option too 🙂
