Japanese Chicken And Egg Rice Bowl (Oyakodon)

DESCRIPTION

Oyakodon is a delicious staple in Japanese households - chicken, onion & egg simmered in a savory broth, served over fresh steamed rice. It's the perfect one-pan meal that doesn't require oil in the cooking process, making it light and healthy too!
