ALERT ALERT: Pork Katsudon Explosion Overload!

A little something from my kitchen lunchbox!

A katsudon is a popular Japanese dish. What is it? A bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet, egg, and condiments. Variations include sauce katsudon (with Worcestershire sauce), demi katsudon (with demi-glace and often green peas, a specialty of Okayama), shio katsudon (with salt, another Okayama variety), shōyu-dare katsudon (with soy sauce, Niigata style), and miso katsudon (a favorite in Nagoya). Beef and chicken can substitute for the pork.

Oh. My. Yum. Slap Someeeeboddy!!!

Rice Noodle Rolls with…XO Sauce!?!?!? YESSS!!!

   Rice noodle rolls AKA cheong fun, are a favorite at Dim sum. These are wide rice noodles that are steamed and then rolled. They are often filled with different types of meats or vegetables inside but can be served without any filling. Rice noodle rolls are fried after they are steamed and then sprinkled with sesame seeds. Popular fillings include beef, dough fritter, shrimp, and barbecued pork. In the end, these rice noodle rolls are often topped with a sweetened soy sauce.   

You haven’t lived until you ate them smothered in XO Sauce! *Drool…
