Japan oyako-don is a type of bowl of rice topped with a beaten egg and chicken meat simmered in warishita sauce (stock mixed with soy sauce, mirin and sugar) and served on top of rice.
The chicken is usually simmered with vegetables such as leeks and onions, and often garnished with mitsuba (Japanese parsley), green peas, and chopped nori (seaweed) for color.
