Oyakodon is so good! I also love using leftover katsu for katsudon - same process. Knowing how insanely simple the broth is makes it tough to pay $16 or whatever at a Japanese restaurant.

Katsudon (カツ丼) is godtier. I had it for my first lunch in Japan, which was also my first time ever having that meal. Now I'm ruined because I expect every katsudon from now on to taste as good as I remembered it :ROFLMAO:

Also yes, you are right. The base is just dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. I had no idea it was that simple until months ago. Granted, not a lot of cooking experience outside of some YouTube recipes over here.
In addition, a 2024 resolution for me is to learn how to prepare a new Japanese entree/meal every month.

Throw some dry sake in there too. Equal parts of all four.
 
They look great, my wife makes them at home, they are one of her favourites (She’s from Osaka)
First time making takoyaki (たこ焼き) with the takoyaki pan (たこ焼き器) I bought for my father for Christmas.

Thought it came out well. The batch for him:

The rotation motion was simple to get down.
 
Vegetarian yakisoba (ベジタリアン焼きそば) with octopus sunomono (タコ酢の物) for dinner:

Finished results with a personal serving:

Loved both. Adding them to repertoire. Plenty of sunomono as a side dish for later.
 
Curry Udon (カレーうどん) with some pan fried lotus root (焼いたレンコン) on the side.

I miss this thread.

Also, I’ve been eating my own body weight in shrimp poboys of late. Zero regrets.

For the first time ever I made banana nut bread and strawberry cupcakes from scratch! They turned out so yummy. It helped that I made it with my friend who’s an avid baker. I’ve always wanted to know someone that loves to bake and I’m so grateful to have met them! It's been so easy getting to know them and making yummy treats together! 😍
