I like to make donburi. I use my rice cooker and I make a savory sauce in pan. I slice the onion and I perfectly integrate the sliced ribeye beef I got for 10 dollars from the asian grocery store into my meal. It is done cooking in 10 minutes. I have marinated a ramen egg, and I eat it as well. Jammy and gooey and flavorful. I’m the shōgun. I’m the shōgun.
I love cooking koshihikari sushi rice in a Japanese donabe clay pot. Rinse the rice 4 or 5 times quickly so it doesn't absorb the silty water, soak for at least 20 minutes, dry in a colander or on mesh for an hour ideally, cook, then add about 24ml sushi vinegar for every rice cup. It's so nice you can enjoy it without soy sauce.
make some dashi and use the stuff to make furikake after— it immediately elevates your sad rice-only desperation meal into a delicious and nourishing traditional Japanese meal
i saw someone on insta make this and for me it’s very simple to do. just get the vegetables and meats you want and boil it with water, mentsuyu, and a bit of sake. my routine is to shabu shabu my thin sliced meat first, leave it on the side, then fry firm tofu on both sides with sesame oil. after that pour just about 1 1/3 of water in the pan, followed by about 2 tbsp of mentsuyu, a tbsp of sake, then add your other bits to cook. for me that’s enoki/woodear mushrooms, cabbage, lotus root, a few carrots slices, shirataki/konnyaku, chikuwa/kamaboko, the like. Then before you’re done place the thin sliced meat and other things that cook fast in last. then i eat it piece by piece with wasabi, yuzu kosho, and some sesame dressing on the side
