‘Tanin’ means ‘stranger’ or ‘unrelated person’. Unlike ‘Oyako’ Don that is cooked with Chicken and Eggs, Pork and Eggs are not ‘parent and child’. Therefore this is called ‘Tanin’ Don. It’s a quick and easy Donburi (rice bowl) dish. Pork Mince or Beef Mince are easy to use, but thinly sliced Pork or Beef steaks are nicer.

Hi, Wow this is one very practical recipe for breakfast. I think I should try it. One question, dashi isn’t familiar here in my place (it is available but quite rare and very expensive), can I replace it with chicken stock?
