おうちごはん！(Ouchigohan) - Oyakodon

This month's おうちごはん！Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking will be hosted by the Japan Society of Greater Philadelphia. Have you ever tried a Japanese dish called Domburi? Domburi are bowls of rice with delicious toppings – a meal in a bowl. Oyako Domburi is called “Mother and Child rice” bowl. This savory dish is made with both chicken and eggs and the words oya and ko refer to parent and child. 

Tender chunks of chicken are cooked in a dashi broth and, when just hot enough, beaten eggs are poured over the top and cooked briefly until the eggs are silky and just set. 

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? We don’t know, do you?
