If you eat meat, or have ever eaten meat, then I in all probability don’t have to mount an argument for bacon, a meals so powerfully interesting that science has sought to clarify the the explanation why. Bacon is transformative in cooking, elevating different elements that share the bun, pan or plate. That, after all, consists of eggs, which don’t want bacon’s assist to be scrumptious, however change into much more so in a New York-style breakfast sandwich or a bowl of spaghetti carbonara.
Eric Kim brings that pairing to his straightforward recipe for bacon and egg don, a nontraditional however extremely scrumptious addition to the world of donburi, the Japanese rice bowls whose numbers embrace katsudon and oyakodon.
