Do you know ‘Oyako’ Don’? It’s a very popular Japanese rice bowl dish. ‘Oyako’ means ‘Parent and Child’ and the dish is cooked with Chicken and Eggs. This dish is called ‘Tanin’ Don, and ‘Tanin’ means ‘stranger’ OR ‘unrelated person’. ‘Tanin’ Don is cooked with Pork and Eggs, sometimes Beef and Eggs, and those ingredients are unrelated. It’s a quick and easy rice bowl dish. Minced Pork OR Minced Beef can be used, but I like to use thinly sliced Pork Belly.
