Hey guys! One of my most popular dishes is gyudon, a beef rice bowl that I made a while ago. But did you know there is a similar dish called butadon, that uses pork instead of beef? I used a homemade ponzu sauce, with thinly sliced pork belly and vegetables, all served on a bowl of rice! You can also find this dish in many of Japan's fast food chains, Sukiya and Yoshinoya! Sounds good right?
