Oyakodon

Oyakodon is a yummy Japanese food that is made with cooked rice, eggs, chicken, onions, and a special sauce. It is very easy to make and very tasty too!

So imagine you have a bowl of rice, some egg, and some pieces of chicken. Now, we put all these things in a pan and cook them together with some onions. While they are cooking, we add a special sauce made of soy sauce, mirin (a type of rice wine), and dashi (a broth made from fish). This sauce gives it a yummy flavor and makes it taste really good!

When everything is cooked, we put the rice in a bowl and add the chicken and egg mixture on top. And voila! We have made oyakodon. It is a great meal because it is filling and tasty, and it has a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and vegetables.
