Have you ever heard of Donburi? Are you curious about this culinary term? Donburi actually means bowl. Yes, just a bowl. It is sometimes abbreviated as "don". As you'll learn in this recipe book, donburi is a rice-based dish with other ingredients on top. The varieties are named based on what's on top of the rice. Anything that can be cooked can be used as the topping for a donburi bowl. Some are more common than others, like beef and chicken. Donburi comes as rice in a large sized bowl with main ingredients on the top. They have generally been simmered in a delectable sauce that seeps down into that rice, adding a wonderful flavor. Sometimes, donburi bowls also include nori seaweed, usually added between the rice and the toppings. The type of rice used in most any donburi bowl is Japanese rice. It's not unique rice like those you might see in sushi shops. The rice is often cooked al dente so that it will maintain its form even after the sauces soak through it. Donburi is sometimes eaten with chopsticks, but most can be eaten easily with spoons. The sauce mixes with the rice, making it hard to eat with chopsticks. You'll want to be able to dive in once you taste how delicious they are... Try making some soon!
