Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Doria is a Japanese café classic, invented in Yokohama by a Swiss chef. It is a great way to turn leftover rice and chicken into something cozy.
Make it a learning moment: why does cheese brown on top? The heat makes its proteins and sugars change color and flavor, just like toast.
