I rearranged this staple Japanese dish to suit my preferences.
I made it so it's delicious served either warm or cold.

Please adjust the saltiness to your liking.
Add green beans or green vegetables, which add a fresh burst of colour to the dish.
If you have time, keep this dish in the pot for a while until it's cooled. The flavours will settle in and become even tastier. Recipe by John Lee Cooker
