'SPOILERS: Video and description spoilers for episodes 13 and 50 of the anime and chapters 314 and 315 of the manga. With the finale of the anime nearly coming to a head, there really wasn’t a debate on what I could make this week. It had to be the final dish that Soma makes for Nakiri Erina for the ending of the BLUE Arc (at least in the manga, who knows whether they’ll stick to that ending or do their own thing on the anime), Eggs Benedict Don – Fit for a Queen. This dish is the result of Yukihira fine-tuning both the eggs benedict that Erina made in Episode 13 of Season 1 during the Training Camp Arc for the 200 serving breakfast challenge, and also the Chicken Egg Tempura Don that Soma made in Episode 50 for Erina during her stay at the Polar Star Dorm. Combining the two together, he created the ultimate eggs benedict donburi by replacing the English muffin with a konbu and shiso leaf rice, replacing bacon for fried pork, and adding an extra layer of finesse by tempura frying a soft poached egg, and fusing Japanese flavours into a classic hollandaise sauce.

[RECIPES] Rice: 1. Wash your rice 3-4 times to remove excess starch. Use your method of choice to cook the rice, adding in 2g of konbu into the uncooked rice for each portion you’re cooking. 2. When the rice is cooked, remove the konbu and finely dice into small pieces, reserving to one side. 3. Finely slice or dice shiso leaves or relevant herb substitute. You’ll need approximately 1tbsp per portion, or to taste. Reserve to one side. Japanese Hollandaise: 1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. In another saucepan, heat 2 cups of water over medium heat until simmering. 2. Place a heatproof bowl over the pan of simmering water, ensuring the water isn’t touching the base of the bowl. Add the egg yolks and 2tsp of yuzu or lemon juice. Whisk to combine until homogenous, and the yolks become slightly thicker and paler. 3. Slowly drizzle the melted butter into egg yolks while constantly whisking. When the butter is all added, continue to whisk and cook over the simmering water for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. 4. If not using immediately, store in a heat-retaining container (i.e. a thermos) until required. Tempura poached eggs 1. Place a large saucepan filled with water over medium heat until almost simmering. Add 1tbsp of white wine vinegar, stirring to distribute. 2. Crack a large egg into a bowl. When the water is almost simmering, stir the water in a circular motion to make a strong vortex in the centre of the pan. Carefully pour your egg into the spinning vortex and allow the water to wrap the egg whites around the yolk. 3. Drop the heat to low and cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until whites have set but the yolk is still soft. 4. Carefully remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon, and place on paper towel to dry. 5. Make tempura batter by sifting together the flour and cornflour. Add the water and mix to fully combine, adding more water if the batter is too thick (it should be quite thin). 6. Heat a saucepan with oil to 180C. Cover the poached eggs in the batter and fry for 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. 7. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil. Tonkatsu: 1. Tenderise pork, season both sides with salt and allow to rest for 45 minutes. 2. Coat the pork thoroughly in flour and then the egg. Repeat flour and egg coating before packing on panko breadcrumbs. 3. Heat 1cm worth of oil in a high-walled frying pan over medium-high heat. Test for oil heat by dropping in a piece of panko, it should bubble immediately. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. 4. Remove from oil and lean the tonkatsu upright in a frying basket to drain excess oil. 5. Rest for 5 minutes before using a sharp knife to cut into slices. Assembly: 1. Combine a portion of white rice with the reserved diced konbu and herbs. 2. Place the sliced tonkatsu over the rice. 3. Place a tempura egg on top of the tonkatsu, glaze over with hollandaise sauce and garnish with finely sliced spring onions. Music: 1. Ghosts by Ikson: https://soundcloud.com/ikson 2.
