GYOZA-DON

Looking for a meal that’s quick, comforting, and totally customisable? Say hello to Gyoza-Don! I whipped this up using Itsu Prawn Gyozas (but any filling works), and it’s my ultimate go-to for those “lazy, broke, raid-the-fridge” moments.

With sticky rice, golden pan-fried gyozas, and a savoury egg mixture that sets like a dreamy omelette, it’s the kind of meal you can throw together in no time. Drizzle on some Kewpie mayo, sprinkle chilli crunch, and raid your pantry for spring onions or sesame seeds to make it pop.

Perfect for when you need maximum flavour with minimal effort and a nearly-empty fridge. Get creative, swap in what you have, and enjoy a dish that’s as flexible as it is delicious.
