What can you do with leftover chicken karaage from Don Don Donki?
You could always put them in the fridge, re-heat and snack on them another day. Or… you could make an easy and hearty dinner salad by adding just a few more things.
Ingredients
Here’s what you need:
- 1 avocado, preferably Shepard for a rich and creamy texture
- 2 oranges
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- 4 chicken karaage, preferably from Don Don Donki
- A handful of corn kernels
- Some Japanese mayo or Greek yoghurt
- Some Pepper and Shichimi Togarashi
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with water, boil for about 6-7 mins using medium heat
- Peel the eggs and mash them with a spoon or fork in a big bowl
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and heat up in an oven or airfryer. When they’re done, throw them into the same bowl as the eggs.
- Peel the oranges, cut into bite-size pieces and throw into bowl.
- Scoop out the avocado flesh, cut into bite-size pieces and throw into bowl.
- Rinse and drain corn thoroughly and (you guessed it!) throw into bowl. Easy, isn’t it?
- Add mayo or yoghurt, about 1-2 tablespoons
- Add pepper or shichimi togarashi, according to taste
- Mix well and enjoy
Even though there’s deep-fried chicken involved, you’re still technically having a “salad”. Which transforms it into health food.
Magic!

Don Don Donki beef chips are really quite versatile

The frozen oden at Don Don Donki is actually quite nice
If you happen to come across the petite Kibun Oden Set in Donki’s freezers, you might want to give it a try. Because good things do come in small packages, and it’s especially true in this case.
Eight different Aomori apples from Don Don Donki
I know that fruits are good for me, but I don’t particularly enjoy eating them. There are some that I tolerate, and will grudgingly have. Apples are one of those.

Auspicious mochi waffles on the first day of the Chinese New Year
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and The Wife wanted to start off the year with an auspicious breakfast. So she made some mochi waffles and paired them with Jeju yuzu citron and Canadian maple syrup.
Nature moves at its own pace
The sprouts shot up at quite an amazing pace and after only seven days, they were ready to be harvested and eaten again. It’s unclear if the Totoro had any significant impact on their speed of growth.
Hotpot at home using ingredients from Don Don Donki

Looks like I’m able to eat supermarket sushi again
On our previous grocery runs to Don Don Donki in Orchard Central, we walked past the large coolers that housed the many trays of takeaway sushi but didn’t buy any. This time, we choose one tray each and brought them home for dinner.
