Chicken-and-egg rice bowl

Chicken second courses

My version of a Japanese donburi (rice bowl) I tried at an eponymous new restaurant, which was the perfect antidote to a dreary Sunday afternoon. The more specific names for each type of donburi describe the meat or vegetables cooked in the sauce. At the restaurant, I had perfectly fried shrimp, but the oyakodon — “parent-and-child donburi” in English, a play on the chicken-and-egg combination — wins at home for simplicity and punny name.
