You might have seen a lot of Chinese food pictures showing the rice covering with the dish.
But that’s wrong, a big No to all those misguiding information. That’s a Japanese style Donburi. As a Chinese, we can tell you we seldom put dishes on a bowl of rice. Most of the time, we separate the rice and dish into different vessels. It might look great on the photos but there are some reasons why we don’t do it.
- If you pour all the sauce into the rice, the rice will become sticky, losing its own mouth feeling.
- The sauce usually contains a lot of soy sauce, oil, etc. It is bad for your health to just put them all on a bowl of rice.
