One-Bowl Meal

March 28, 2012 by The Mouse

I love one-bowl meals. Not many dishes to wash. Kind of portable. The well-known one in our area is the loco-moco. The Japanese have their donburi.

Don’t get me wrong, I really like loco-moco. Sometimes though, I feel that the gravy clashes with the yolk of the fried egg. Since I think of loco-moco as more of a concept, one of my versions.

First step:

Steamed Brown Rice and Trader Joe's Medley

Add:

Kalua Pork

Finally, top with:

Over-Easy Fried Egg

The runny yolk serves as the “gravy”. No added salt (the Kalua Pork is salty enough).

Tuck-in and yum.

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, doesn’t matter to me. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

These are perfect – take bowl to writing desk – keep writing and eat.

I’ve seen the TJ rice medley in the store and thought of buying it. But lately, I’ve been on a bread kick rather than eating rice. 😛 One bowl wonder is my mantra at times. 🙂

I’m so jealous you can cook so effortlessly. You inspire me to cook more. Of course I won’t. But the desire is there!

They’ll call that “porksilog” in the Philippnes, it’s just that the rice is steamed, not fried. Looks delicious! Mom loves anything Japanese, I’ll show this to her 🙂

That sounds like a magical combination. I love fried eggs, and kahlua pork–*whimper*
