When you had hayashi rice for dinner on the previous day... sometimes you're left with such small amount of the sauce that's not even enough to serve on rice. It's those times when you feel like shouting, "Who was the last one to eat this!?" These croquettes are perfect for that situation.In Step 2, keep on stirring to prevent the sauce from burning. Try scooping it up with a ladle, and see if it keeps its shape when you drop it into the pan. When adding flour, make sure to add in small batches to avoid any lumps.Please add a small amount of ketchup if it tastes too plain in Step 3. Recipe by Miashanmama

Fried bean curd cooked in a sweet-savory sauce on rice (called kitsune-don) is delicious and I love it, but I thought that in the summer months when appetites are lagging something spicy like this would be better. My husband really liked it so I decided to upload it here!You can freeze aburaage (fried flat tofu), so it's useful to keep stocked. I make the sauce with dashi stock so it's not that spicy. It's also good on top of udon noodles. Recipe by pappatyan

One of my favorite ten-don restaurants closed. In my quest for a similar ten-don sauce, I tried a lot of different varieties and this is to my liking.Reduce the sauce until you have almost half the original amount. This will make a thick, sweet sauce. You won't need all of it, so drizzle some over rice and store the rest. Recipe by Shijimi24.

I made this recipe as a way for my kids to eat the vegetables that they normally wouldn't eat served individually.I used meat sauce made in advance. This can be easily made with store-bought sauce, so it's handy for times when you need a quick lunch.

This is my mother's creation.My little brother used to love this and asked her to cook it often.1 tablespoon of curry powder may be too spicy, so put 1/2 tablespoon and adjust to taste.You could replace the water for dashi stock. You could also add onions, but I didn't. Recipe by Musashikojirou

Usually, the squid used for stuffed squid is tough. I thought it would be so much better if the meat was tender, so I challenged myself to achieve this. I cooked it simply using Mrs. Adachi's (a recipe blogger and writer) teriyaki sauce, which was shown on TV the other day. It's a bit sweet, so if you don't like sweet sauces, you can omit the sugar for a savory sauce.Usually, rice stuffed squid is made with a small portion of mochi rice... but in this recipe, I just used already cooked rice to keep things simple. The squid is not simmered, but is finished quickly over high heat, which means the squid remains tender. If you simmer squid for a long time, it'll turn tough. If you mix the sauce into the rice that's stuffed in the squid, it'll become pretty sweet. If you prefer it less sweet, use plain rice for the stuffing instead. Recipe by Mekamahao

I love eggplants. While I was thinking of dishes to prepare with one of my favorite sweet and savory sauces, this was what stuck!If the skin of the eggplant is tough, peel off some strips in a zebra pattern to make it easier to bite into. Once you add the sauce ingredients it will cook down in no time, so make sure to simmer over low heat. Recipe by pappatyan.

I had some meat sauce leftover from when I made pasta, so I decided to use it to make a doria.You can use salted or unsalted butter. If you are using salted butter, go easy on the salt and pepper. Recipe by Korokorokorone
