The name of this common Japanese dish, oyako-donburi (shortened to oyakodon), translates loosely to "parent and child bowl," since it calls for both chicken and eggs. It's a quick and filling bowl for lunch or dinner.

 Satay, probably originating in Southeast Asia, is slices or cubes of meat cooked on a skewer. Chicken, beef, and pork are all common choices. We flavored this pork version with a little brown sugar, some rice wine vinegar, and a touch of fish sauce.

Jasmine rice is naturally fragrant, so it's delicious without any fuss at all.  But you can dress it up with a teaspoon of butter, a few drops of olive oil, or some fresh lime juice added to the water while cooking.  This staple grain goes so well with almost any cuisine, from Indian to American barbecue.
