Oyako donburi—chicken and egg cooked with onion and seasonings to make an omelet-like mixture served on top of steaming-hot rice—is Japanese comfort food. For this simplified version, we use low-sodium chicken broth in place of the customary dashi, a stock made of seaweed and shaved dried bonito. If you’re able to find instant dashi in the supermarket, give it a try. It requires only water to brew or dissolve the granules and lends the omelet a smoky, umami-rich flavor that’s uniquely Japanese. Short-grain rice is the best type to use for these rice bowls.

Loved this recipe! As the description says, it really is comfort food. I doubled the recipe and had to remove some liquid as it was taking too long to reduce. Not sure if that would be an issue when making the recipe as written. I'll be making this again forsure.
