Oyako Donburi is the classic soul food of Japan, the literal translation of Oyakodon (親子丼) means “parent-and-child rice bowl.” Chicken (as in parent), egg (as in child), and onions are simmered together in a dashi and soy sauce-based broth then served on top of steamed rice. The Australian Carob Co Organic Carob Syrup is a perfect substitute for marinating meat.
