Rice Cooker Oyakodon

Oyakodon is classic Japanese comfort food featuring tender chicken, onions, and eggs simmered in an umami-rich sauce, then served over fluffy steamed rice. This simplified version is just as delicious and let's you prepare the entire meal in a rice cooker, making it incredibly easy to make with minimal cleanup.
