Join us for a special edition of the family-friendly online Japanese cooking class series おうちごはん！Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking. We will start by learning how to make Namasu, a type of salad that pairs well with Oyakodon, a Japanese rice bowl made with both chicken and eggs. The Namasu is a celebration salad made with Daikon radish, carrots, onions, scallions, eggs, and other ingredients. The Oyakodon rice bowl is also called the "Mother and Child" rice bowl. Since this savory dish is made with both chicken and eggs, the words Oya and Ko refer to parent and child, as such chicken and egg. Tender chicken chunks are cooked in dashi broth and when hot enough, beaten eggs are poured over the top and cooked briefly until the eggs are silky and just set. Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
