‘Gyū Don’ is one of Japan’s most popular rice bowl dishes. In Melbourne where I live, since local supermarkets started selling thinly sliced Beef, it has become easy for me to cook Gyū Don. I don’t need to start the cooking process with slicing Beef. Today I cooked it in a different flavour. This is a Taiwanese inspired Gyū Don. I added Star Anise and Chinese Five Spice.
