It is definitely comfort food, no doubt. And yes, it’s a very simple recipe, and easy to put together.

I don’t find it sad.
Japanese convenience products are usually pretty damn good.
Like with curry. I’ve done it from scratch, and no amount of cooking or making roux or curry paste will prevent it from being grainy. It just takes too much curry powder to make it taste right. So I just use the roux bricks and doctor the hell out of it.

Yeah, companies like Ajinomoto make a wide range of convenient cooking products that are pretty good. I’m not trying to shill for them, but their Cook-Do line makes it pretty easy to make quite good Japanese and (Japanese-style) Chinese dishes.

Their Mabo-Tofu has vastly improved from the thin bland mess it was in years past.

I see now. @Jesse13927 meant “like Hamburger Helper for oyakodon” in terms of convenience. Not in terms of “brings all the gustatory satisfaction of that same product.”

Yeah, I wasn’t sure how else to describe it because it’s not a prepackaged or instant meal (you still have to bring and prepare your own eggs, chicken and onions, etc.).

I look forward to when this technology reaches the rest of the brewing world so that I can print memos on Munich lager A4 and leave juicy, hazy, Imperial IPA sticky notes.
