I decided against sushi not because I don&#8217;t like them but because I can&#8217;t make them well enough. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nThere are so many Japanese specialties that we haven&#8217;t tried yet, so I wanted to cook something unexpected.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<strong>Oyako Donburi, or Mother and Child Donburi<\/strong>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\nThis is basically a bowl of rice with chicken and egg mixture on top of it (chicken and eggs in the context of the dish translate into mother and children). <\/p>\n<p>This is a mild flavored but nevertheless tasty dish. I would call it Japanese-style comfort food. I cooked it in no time. While rice was still cooking on the stove I prepared the chicken-and-egg part, and as a result I had the dinner ready in 30 minutes. My guys were quite happy with it. I guess I need to make them happy like this more often.<\/p>\n<p>There are again a ton of recipes of Oyako Donburi on the Internet.
