oyako donburi - a traditional japanese dish
(3 ratings)
Here is a traditional japanese dish that I consider "comfort food". It is also a favorite dish in Hawaii. Whenever I make this and sit down to cuddle up with my bowl of Oyako Donburi, I am totally embraced with memories of my mom's love. Oyako means - mother and child, so goes to say, chicken and egg. Donburi means - rice bowl. So the dish literally means chicken and eggs in a bowl, served over hot rice. The photo is not my own but to give you an idea of what is looks like. It's a bit much as you cannot see the hot rice below.
