Gyudon (or Beef Bowl) is like a comfort food for Japanese.  It can be prepared quickly and it has nutritious ingredients like beef, onion, eggs, and rice.  I cook this meal when I have full schedule with kids’ activities until dinner time. 

Gyudon Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 2 green onions/scallions
