Oyakodon

Oyakodon

For those of you not familiar with oyakodon, oyako simply means "parents and children". Don means rice bowl. You may have seen donburi which simply means something put over rice to eat. If you can't figure it out, the parents and children is because this is chicken with eggs. Oyako = chicken & eggs. Don = rice. Oyakodon = chicken & eggs over rice.

• 1 teaspoon dashi powder/granules
• 2 teaspoons seaweed, chopped - for garnish
• 1 teaspoon beni-shoga chilled - for garnish

1. Bring the water to a boil in a pot.

• Beni-Shoga is bright red pickled ginger. Unlike gari aka sushi ginger which is soaked in a sweet vinegar, beni-shoga is made by soaking in a plum vinegar of sorts, and what gives it its red colour.
