Oyakodon is a classic comfort food of Japanese home cooking. Tender pieces of chicken, onion, and eggs are simmered in an umami-rich, dashi-based sauce and then poured over a bowl of fluffy steamed rice. Simple, delicious, and utterly comforting, this is the kind of one-bowl meal you can cook in less than 30 minutes!
