Shrimp and Chicken Ankake Donburi. Colorful vegetables, shrimp, and pieces of chicken are stir-fried and then briefly braised in ankake sauce and served over rice

Shrimp and Chicken Ankake Donburi

This shrimp and chicken ankake donburi was one of my most favorite dishes prepared this week from Everyday Harumi cookbook by Harumi Kurihara. You know me, I am always bought into the idea of “something” served on top of rice, which is what the word donburi means, on rice.

Shrimp and Chicken Ankake Donburi

Quoting my husband after he tasted it “The dish is very light, but tasty. Definitely a keeper”. So, a keeper it is. I’m not kidding folks, the ankake sauce, which was the same sauce I made for chawan mushi, was so delicious cooked with the chicken, shrimp and veggies. Pour it on top of the hot cooked rice…. we were a very happy campers! The best part is, super simple to make too! You can’t mess it up unless you do it on purpose lol!
