Tuna Oyakodon

Oyakodon is a Japanese comfort-food dish that is basically a rice bowl with a chicken and scrambled egg mixture on top.  It translates to "parents and children," which is a reference to the chicken and eggs.  I didn't have any chicken on hand, so I used some good canned tuna instead.  First I sauteed some thinly sliced onions, then I added the sauce consisting of soy sauce, sugar, mirin and water.  Once the liquid came up to a boil, I added 2 beaten eggs and let them set up in the pan.  Once the egg was cooked through, I spooned it over a bowl of Korean-style black rice and garnished it with some toasted nori and sesame seeds.  What I like about this dish is the balance between the salty and sweet flavors.
