Turkey Satay Donburi Bowl

This recipe was made for leftovers. You can use a variety of veggies here. Traditional donburi uses lots of raw vegetables like cucumber, raw carrot ribbons, radishes, etc., but you can use leftover cooked vegetables or cook any vegetables you like and add. Don’t worry if you don’t have curry powder for the satay – you also don’t need the coconut milk if you don’t have any – you could thin the sauce with a bit of water.
