Ryuji's ultimate recipe for 'Ultimate Egg Donburi', a superb dish even without meat. The gentle, flavorful broth, infused with the sweetness of onions and the umami of bonito flakes, perfectly complements the fluffy and creamy eggs, prepared in two stages. Simple ingredients create surprisingly profound deliciousness.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Bonito flakes 3g
  • Onion 1/4 (60g)
  • Eggs 2
  • Cooked rice 200g
  • Mitsuba (Japanese parsley) to taste

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Water 2 tbsp
  • [A] MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 3 shakes

Steps

  1. Heat 3g bonito flakes in the microwave for tens of seconds, then crumble and crush into a powder.
  2. Cut off the stem end of 1/4 onion (60g) and peel it. Slice thinly against the grain.
  3. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), and 2 tbsp water to a small pot or frying pan, and place over heat.
  4. Add the powdered 3g bonito flakes, 3 shakes MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG), and sliced onion to the pot. Cover and simmer over low heat until the onion is tender (approx. 3-4 minutes). [Chef's Tip!] Slicing the onion against the grain helps it soften faster. Cover to prevent too much moisture from evaporating while simmering. If it reduces too much, add 1 tbsp water.
  5. Crack 1 egg into a bowl and lightly beat, just enough so the yolk and white are not completely combined. [Chef's Tip!] Do not completely mix the egg; taking advantage of the different setting temperatures of the yolk and white will create a varied and delicious texture.
  6. Serve 200g warm cooked rice into a donburi bowl and flatten the surface.
  7. Once the onion is translucent, pour the lightly beaten 1 egg over the entire pot. Cover and heat over medium-low heat for about 50 seconds.
  8. Crack another 1 egg into a separate bowl and lightly beat it in the same manner.
  9. Once the egg in the pot is half-cooked, pour in the remaining lightly beaten 1 egg. Gently mix and push the egg towards the center while heating until it reaches your desired half-cooked consistency.
  10. Arrange the egg and onion mixture from the pot to fit the size of the donburi bowl, then carefully slide it over the warm cooked rice.
  11. Garnish with Mitsuba (Japanese parsley), shichimi togarashi, or sansho pepper to taste, and serve.
