Buta Don

‘Buta’ means ‘Pig’ or ‘Pork’. This 'Donburi' dish is originated in Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. You can add some vegetables such as onions and carrot, but ‘Buta Don’ most commonly consists of a bowl of rice topped with just pork slices. You might like the sauce sweeter than this recipe. Please adjust the amount of the seasonings to suit your taste.
