Curry_Mackerel_Don

Because I usually cook for four people, preparing a meal just for me can be oddly challenging. A ‘Donburi (Rice Bowl)’ dish is always a good option. I stock canned mackerel in my pantry for always as mackerel is my great favourite (and fresh mackerel is rarely available where I live), and the small 120g canned mackerel is just perfect for single serving. I have introduced my ‘Miso Mackerel Don’, here is another yummy and easy ‘Curry Mackerel Don’ which will never disappoint you.
