[RECIPE] Vegetable Tenshin-don

Tenshin-don or Tenshin-han is a Chinese-inspired Japanese dish, traditionally combining a crab meat omelette with cooked rice and a savory sauce served in a bowl. Our version features a vegetable-based sauce using dried carrot and spinach. The natural Umami flavor from the vegetable Dashi adds a delightful touch, transforming this dish into a nourishing and comforting meal.
