Hello, lovely people! I'm Masa!
This time I'd like to share a tasty donburi (a bowl of rice covered with main course)
It's called (Japanese),
which is prawns with chili sauce
donburi!
Prawns with chili sauce,
actually it's from Chinese cuisine,
when it was introduced into Japan, we loved the flavor so much!
So, we transformed this dish into a donburi style.
As a matter of fact, we, Japanese, like Chinese cuisine a lot!
Such as Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, sautéed pork with green peppers, etc.
These dishes we, Japanese, really enjoyed a lot!
Some of the dishes are so tasty that we change them into duburi,
because the flavor is really decadent!
So this time we'll need prawns,
a bit kind of like Chinese cuisine,
and make a really tasty donburi!
Let's get started!
Some ginger slices
Minced or puréed
Some garlic
Minced or puréed
Some chilies
(The amount is adjustable)
1 spring onion
Separate the greens and the stalk
Nick on the surface (don't slice it through)
The other side..
Slice it the same way
(This technique we called "the serpent's cut" in Japanese)
(This technique is often used when we are slicing cucumbers)
Minced
(This way is much more effective)
Cut the greens into small chunks
2 eggs
A pinch of salt
Whisk
8~12 prawns
(clean and devein if needed)
Prepare a bowl of rice and some lettuce
Turn up to medium heat
Some oil
Eggs in
Cook to the texture you like
(I like it gooey and smooth personally!)
Add them to your rice
Plating
Make sure to cook the eggs first,
we don't want the eggs become rubbery,
a bowl of rice,
eggs cooked first,
then into the bowl.
These steps must be considered,
then starts cooking,
or you might forget some elements when you finish. (trust me..)
It's quite frustrating when you went back the kitchen and do more work!
When the left element is ready, the former elements are already lost of flavor!
Turn up to medium heat
Some oil
Prawns in
Cook till the prawns turn slightly red
To prevent them overcooked, set aside first
You can choose any seafood you like!
Such as scallops, squid,
fish, or any other seafood,
cook them really quick first, then set aside,
then the chili sauce.
After that combine the two together then it's done!
Wipe your pan
Medium heat and some oil
Ginger, chilies, spring onions in
Till the fragrance is out
2 tbsp sake, 1 tsp sugar
1 tsp soy sauce, 3 or more tbsp ketchup
Prawns back in
Make sure every prawns are coated with the sauce, then turn off the heat
Some sesame and spring onions
A tasty-looking
prawns donburi is done!
Finally we can have a taste!
Just moments before, when I looked into the screen, my mouth couldn't stop watering!
The color is really bright,
yellow eggs, green prawns.. uhh nope
"red" prawns, green lettuce
and the rice underneath!
Then, all covered with the chili sauce!
Really attractive!
Enough talking..
Awesome! Let's dig in!
I really enjoy the Chinese cuisine!
In donburi style!
The main course is really decadent,
it can also becomes a dish alone, but it turns quite clumsy.
In Chinese cuisine,
we'll use chopsticks and pick some dishes into our own bowl.
As for donburi, it's really convenient, because they're combined together!
Really great!
It has the smooth texture from the eggs,
and the crunchy prawns, the texture together is really good!
Next, there's garlic,
ginger, some chilies
in the sauce, it's not that spicy,
and the flavor of the garlic isn't that outstanding.
Because the ketchup inside makes the flavor really mild and not that irritating,
but you still can taste every element inside!
So, like this kind of Chinese cuisine,
can also be transformed into donburi!
If you want to make Mapo tofu, or sautéed pork with green peppers,
they can also be turned into a donburi style!
If I had that chance,
maybe I can try to show you
more donburi you can die for!
