Tofudon (tofu rice bowl)

This dish came about after my niece requested Katsudon. As I am cutting down on eating meat and since I am a huge fan of tofu I used that instead.
This dish is just as filling as the Katsudon. So when I am having a day of not wanting meat but want something filling and hearty I like to make this.
This is my version of tofudon and I hope you enjoy making and eating this as much as I do.

Steps
- 1
To a saucepan on medium heat add the cooking oil and sliced onions. Sauté onions until they have become soft and translucent.
- 2
Then add water, soba noodle sauce or dashing powder, light soya sauce, mirin and sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved. Cover with a lid and bring it to a gentle boil, so it softens the onions further. Taste the sauce and amend if necessary (add more sugar, mirin, soya sauce, if you like more sauce add water).
- 3
Then add the sliced tofu into the saucepan and continue to simmer on medium heat. Cover with lid for about 2 minutes to heat the tofu.

In the meantime while tofu cooks, beat the eggs. Then pour the beaten egg mixture over the tofu. Turn the heat down to low to gently cook the eggs to avoid them cooking too quickly. Let it cook for a minute, then add the spring onions. Cover saucepan with a lid again and simmer between 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
- 5
While the eggs cook, place rice in a large deep bowl. Then place the tofu along with the sauce and egg mixture over the steamed rice. Sprinkle a few fresh slices of spring onions and sesame seeds (optional) over the tofudon. Serve immediately while hot.
