URGENT FOOD RELATED UPDATE
Katsudon - Japanese crumbed pork rice bowl.
From that well-known scion of Japanese cooking, about.com, haha. Because I was standing in the supermarket in front of the Japanese grocery section, starving, at 9pm, and suddenly I fixated on this idea, and that was the first viable google link that popped up on my wee phone screen.
Speaking of the supermarket, they had no dashi, so I used miso soup paste and water, and cut back the soy sauce, because I am whatever the Japanese word for philistine is.
MY VERY URGENT POINT IS THIS: THIS IS SO GOOD YOU GUYS. I CANNOT EVEN SAY HOW DELICIOUS THIS IS.
None of the steps are terribly difficult but there are so many of them, by the time you crumb the pork, prepare the rice, simmer everything together, assemble etc. It took like two hours, it was ridiculous. Probably it is more sensible if you have the crumbed pork left over from a big batch you did for something else.
Things I learned:
Now it's midnight, I'm drunk from beer on an empty stomach while I was cooking, and I could barely eat, also due to being full of beer. Ahaha. This is what my shrink means when she says I don't have a good internalised parent. OH WELL AWESOME I MADE A THING.

Things I learned:
- How to make glutinous rice. Now I am fantasising about that sticky rice and chinese sausage I have eaten at restaurants.
- Panko breadcrumbs are the most delightful thing to crumb things in in the whole world. Internet, why didn't you tell me? Well, why didn't you tell me so I would listen?
