Salmon and Egg Donburi Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Donburi is rice with some topping in a bowl.   Typical toppings are chicken and egg (Oyakodon), Tempura (Tendon), or beef (Gyudon).  It’s a complete meal in a bowl.

The topping, however, can be anything you like, really.  I had leftover baked salmon from dinner the night before, so it was recycled into this dish.  And I have to say, salmon still made a pretty good Donburi.

If you ‘d like to see more details on Donburi dishes, please check out our Oyakodon Video.

    Konnichiwa!

    I’m a Japanese American and have recently just moved to the east coast with my fiancé. I miss my mother’s cooking so much! But thanks to your YouTube channel and website, I am at least able to replicate my mother’s home cooking. Arigatou honto arigatou gozaimasu.

    I love your website and look forward to any updates!

    Sincerely,

    Midori ^^

I love Japanese food and primarily ate just that but shamefully only know how to make a few dishes! I’m so excited I found this website! Made this tonight and it was a big hit! Thank you thank you!

    Hi Noriko, thank you for sharing such beautiful recipes. I am not really able to dine in Japanese restaurant as some ingredients are not suitable for muslim diet. With your website, I manage to cook my very own Japanese dishes with substitutes, of course! Thank you and have a great day!

      Nyla,
      it is great to hear you can make Japanese food with your substitutions. Homemade food is way better than a lot of restaurant food anyway.

    I love this recipe! My girlfriend and I don’t like to eat fish or meat so we substitute the salmon with silken tofu and it works amazingly well.

      Ben,
      egg and tofu…sounds good. It may be good if you add Tenkasu (tempura batter bits) too.
