The Famous Saizeriya Japanese Doria Recreation Recipe(ミラノ風ドリア）

Cooking the Rice

1. Cook the rice as you would usually do with 1 tsp turmeric powder and 1 tbsp butter
   (Using a rice cooker is the easiest way. If you don’t have one, wash 150g short grain rice 3 times and soak in 200ml of cold water in your cooking pot for 30 mins. Add 1 tsp tumeric powder and 1 tbsp unsalted butter and mix. With the lid on, heat the pot of rice on medium until the water comes to the boil. When you can hear the water boiling, without removing the lid, reduce the heat to medium low for 5 mins. Continue cooking on the lowest heat for 5 mins. After the 5 mins are up, turn off the heat and leave for 10 mins. By leaving the lid on, the rice continues to cook in the steam.)

Meat sauce

1. Dice the 1/2 a white onion and 1 clove of garlic.
2. Drizzle 1 tsp olive oil into the pan and heat on medium-high.
3. Once it’s heated, add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 2 mins.
4. Add 100g mince meat and cook until browned.
5. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper and add the 1 tsp flour too.
6. Pour in 1/2 a can of tomatoes and bring it to the boil.
7. Once it starts boiling bring down the heat to low.
