2014 A to Z Blogging Challenge - D is for Donburi rice

There is rice under there honest! I made this for a Japanese theme menu at a hen party November 2012. If you've only ever had sushi rice in sushi - you should try it in this as well. 

Donburi is a bowl of white rice with toppings - from there you can take off and make your own version with what you have. 

This is another one where I mashed a few recipes and came up with something else - the flavours of this with a whole load of other vegetables added in with the rice including okra then topped it with raw veg - shiitake and enoki mushrooms, carrots, spring onion, coriander which you can stir into the rice at the table to take the raw edge off slightly. Either way the cooked rice and vegetables and the raw or just off raw topping is a nice mix! You can add other things - cooked pork or prawns. Lots of variations of this have a whole egg on top too.
