The literal meaning of oyako don is parent and child rice bowl. The name reflects the fact that both chicken (the parent) and egg (the child) are simmered together in soy and bonito based sauce and served on top of a bowl of rice. Oyako don is perhaps one of the most well known donburi (rice bowl dishes) along with gyudon , katsudon, and tempura don.
