Oyako Donburi (親子丼ぶり)or Oyakodon (親子丼) in short is chicken and egg cooked in sweet and salty broth over steamed rice in a bowl. Chicken is simmered with vegetables such as green onions or brown onions, and is often garnished with various toppings. It’s easy to make at home, and can also be enjoyed at many different establishments such as soba restaurants, udon shops and diners in Japan.
Rice balls don’t really need a recipe to make. Anybody, including someone who has never cooked before, can start making it right away if you have cooked rice. It’s just like making a mud ball when you were a kid. You press rice firmly in your hands and make it into a ball or some other kind of shape. The difference is, you actually can eat Onigiri.
You hear people say, “I can’t eat sushi (raw fish), but I eat California roll.” California roll is so popular that even people who don’t want to try exotic ethnic food will eat it. It is made of pretty innocuous ingredients for sushi: rice, roasted seaweed (sushi nori), cucumber, avocado, and crab meat. No raw fish, and even the seaweed is hidden inside the roll.
Hand roll sushi is a very popular sushi dish in Japanese home cooking. You need Sushi Rice and sheets of roasted seaweed (sushi nori), but the rest of the ingredients can be just about anything imaginable.
Tuna salad and cucumber were used as fillings for this recipe here, but we also suggest smoked salmon and cream cheese, pan-fried rolled omelet (tamago-yaki), avocado, and lettuce. If you are a more advanced Japanese food person, of course you can use your favorite raw fish, too.
With all the ingredients laid out on the table, people can make their own hand rolls how they like as they eat. It is a perfect food for entertaining friends and families!
Sushi rice is the most important component of sushi making, yet very simple to make. Rice needs to be cooked a little harder for sushi rice than for regular steamed rice, so a little less water is used when cooking. When you master how to make sushi rice, you can make a variety of sushi dishes, such as hand rolls and California rolls.
Steamed rice is a staple food for almost any Japanese meal. Japanese rice is soft and sticky compared to other kinds of rice. Rice is called a “main dish” (主食) in Japan since starch is emphasized more than other dishes such as meat, and it is an essential part of Japanese cuisine.
