Shio Suta Don 塩すた丼 (Rice Bowl top with Stir Fry Salt Pork) ~
I came across this dish during my holiday in Tokyo and I have been going back to the same stall for my dinner for few nights, I know I am crazy but I just cant help it.
But when I am back to Singapore, my "Boss" miss this food so much that he request for me to replicate one for him. And so this is created out of my memory how it is taste like and imagination how it should be cook. Of cos I am not 100% success in replicate it, but its enough to satisfy my boss. And hopefully he remember to give me BIG BONUS this year hahah.
If you are lazy and out of idea what to cook for dinner, this is a good choice, all can be done within 15min (exclude rice cooking time).
