 Oyakodon
(親子丼, Oyakodon), literally "parent-and-child donburi"
- A Japanese donburi, or rice bowl dish, in which chicken,
egg, green onion, and other ingredients are all simmered
together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl
of rice. The name of the dish, parent and child donburi, is
a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg
are used in the dish. In Japan, oyakodon is often served in
soba restaurants and other traditional Japanese restaurants.
The donburi simmering sauce varies according to season,
ingredient, region, and taste. A typical sauce might consist
of dashi flavored with shoyu and mirin. Proportions vary,
but usually there is three to four times as much dashi as
shoyu and mirin. For oyakodon, Tsuji (1980) recommends dashi
flavored with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar.
To make oyakodon, cut chicken and other ingredients into
bite-sized pieces. Heat 1/4 cup simmering sauce in a small
frying pan. Add chicken (and sliced yellow onion, if
desired) and simmer until chicken is cooked. Then add green
onions and other ingredients. When all ingredients are
cooked, slowly pour 1-2 lightly beaten eggs evenly over the
whole dish. When eggs are nearly cooked (edges set), slide
the topping from the pan onto hot cooked rice served in an
oversized bowl. The hot rice will finish cooking the eggs.
Several other Japanese dishes pun on the parent-and-child
theme of oyakodon. Tanindon (他人丼, Tanindon), literally
"stranger bowl", is otherwise identical but replaces the
chicken with beef. A dish of salmon and roe served raw over
rice is known as sake oyakodon (鮭親子丼, sake oyakodon).
