Avocado Donburi with Soy Sauce Cured Egg Yolks

March 11, 2026 No Comments

Today’s Avocado Donburi with Soy Sauce Cured Egg Yolks has all the appearance of a 30-minute meal. And trust me, it takes as much effort as a 30-minute meal. But alas, this dish is an exercise in patience. So if you want this beauty in your weekly line-up, and trust me, you do, you need a little forethought. But before we get to how we make it, let’s talk about what it is. This Avocado Donburi features a bed of fluffy rice, drizzled with a reduced soy sauce and mirin syrup, and topped with buttery slices of avocado and a soy sauce-cured egg yolk. Yeah, it’s simple, but it tastes deceptively complex.

It is well-documented that I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I write about it often, like it’s interesting. It’s not. lol! I only mention it because today’s Preserved Lemon Poppyseed Shortbread Cookies are for people like me. People who can’t stomach sweet without a good dose of salty. This holiday treat features buttery shortbread flecked with diced preserved lemon and poppyseeds, topped with a tangy lemon glaze and sprinkled with sumac salt and sanding sugar. Bright, salty, tangy, and sweet, these cookies have something for everybody, regardless of your sweet tooth status.

We’re creeping towards the darkest time of the year. And if you’re a bit of a sun-worshipper like me, you’re already feeling it. There was also that extremely rude time change last weekend, which was, um, unappreciated. But anyway… When things get dark, I like to lean into cozy. This isn’t particularly novel, but I say it because I think it is essential. I save my movie marathons, comfort watches, and scented candles for this particular moment. And you know what? It does make this time of year seem special. Some seasons are harder to love than others, but with the help of a cozy couch, an impossibly fluffy throw, and an endless run of comfort food, I can *almost* enjoy it. And right now, the comfort food I’m leaning on the most are these Bolognese Sloppy Joes.

This past weekend, it was Thanksgiving here in Canada. I will be the first to admit that I’m not a “turkey with all the trimmings” sort of girl. My partner and I slow-cooked chorizo sausages and made tacos to mark the occasion. It’s not that I find any one holiday dish to be particularly offensive. I just find traditional holiday fare to be a little, well, overwhelming. It’s a lot at once. For example, I could practically live off of mashed potatoes, but on a plate with stuffing, turkey, ham (sometimes), and every other root vegetable known to man, it’s easy to lose track of those heavenly taters. When it comes to heavy holiday meals, sometimes your palette just needs a break, and today’s Shaved Fennel Honeycrisp Salad is that break.
