Donburi (dohn-boo-ree) is "fast food" in Japan--boiled rice topped with broth and either vegetables, meat, fish, or eggs. Our version combines shiitake mushroom caps, carrots, and green onions, and is flavored with Asian seasonings and miso, a slightly sweet paste made from ground soybeans. You can find miso in most large supermarkets, Asian markets, or health-food stores.
I love how versatile this recipe is! I substituted sliced a chicken breast, broccoli, slices of red pepper and napa cabbage for 5 cups of the mushrooms. I didn't have vegetable broth so I used chicken broth instead. So tasty and so fast to make! It makes a big batch and the leftovers were great the next day.
This recipe is good but I feel that its lacking something. Seemed a little bland. If I made it again I would definitley make changes.
Very good and easy.
