Japanese Rice Lunch
Here s a scrumptious selection of japanese donburi rice bowl recipes to make on your busy weeknight.
Japanese rice lunch. I buy japanese short grain rice called koshihikari こしひかりorコシヒカリ. You could use medium grain but long grain or any other rice grains are not suitable. Donburi rice bowls are the quintessential japanese comfort meal don 丼 refers to the bowl that the dish is served in so for a typical donburi you get a bowl of fluffy steamed rice with toppings such as vegetables and meat or seafood all in one meal. The easy template is flexible yet you re guaranteed a nourishing meal at the end of the day.
In japan rice is an important part of both the country s culture and its cuisine so much so that not only is it typically served with every meal but the meal times are also actually referred to as morning rice asa gohan lunch rice hiru gohan and dinner rice ban gohan. I like it because the cooked rice is fluffier and shinier than other types. Short grain or sushi rice are the closest types of rice to japanese rice.
