Rice with chicken and egg topping

(Oyako donburi)

DESCRIPTION

Donburi is a classic and very easy meal, which is essentially boiled rice with alternative toppings. A great quick lunch or supper dish, but can be served with vegetables and soup for a hearty main meal. This particular topping is a particular favourite of Japanese children, but we think it is great for adults too! The mix of chicken and egg in a sweetish soy (shoyu) sauce smells and tastes wonderful.
