The Donburi (丼) Recipe by sakusakudon
This recipe is translated from Cookpad Japan. See original: THE DONBURI （丼） Cooking Instructions 1 Score the pork to prevent curling and season lightly with soy sauce (not included in ingredient list). 2 Microwave the whole head of garlic (with skin) for 40 seconds, then peel and cut into large pieces. 3 Thinly slice the onion and sauté over medium heat until caramelized. It's okay if it browns a bit. Once done, set aside on a plate. 4 Mix the cooked rice with the butter, black pepper, and sugar. Use plenty of black pepper for more flavor. 5 Cook the pork in a pan. Once browned on one side, flip, cover, and steam until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside. 6 Add the sauce ingredients (butter, soy sauce, mirin, water or sake) to the same pan. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer to reduce. 7 Spoon the rice into bowls. 8 Top with the sautéed onions and sliced avocado. 9 Slice the pork thinly and arrange on top. Drizzle with the reduced sauce and garnish with radish sprouts. Enjoy! 10 How to peel garlic: Cut off the root end, microwave the whole head for 40 seconds per head (no plastic wrap needed). 11 Be careful, it's hot! Hold the tip and squeeze—the garlic will pop right out. 12 Microwaving makes the garlic easy to peel and it won't leave a strong smell the next day! 1 Score the pork to prevent curling and season lightly with soy sauce (not included in ingredient list). 1 Score the pork to prevent curling and season lightly with soy sauce (not included in ingredient list). 2 Microwave the whole head of garlic (with skin) for 40 seconds, then peel and cut into large pieces. 2 Microwave the whole head of garlic (with skin) for 40 seconds, then peel and cut into large pieces. 3 Thinly slice the onion and sauté over medium heat until caramelized.
