Copycat Japanese McDonald's, #SundaySupper

Go ahead. Confess. Instead of sampling the ambiguous cuisine surrounding you in your travels abroad, you chose a Big Mac at the Golden Arches. Understandable. McDonald’s offers certainty plus easy-on-the-pocketbook prices. You can exhale as you scan the menu; a parade of standards marching by…Until oh, so suddenly anomalies appear. In France, you probably saw Croque McDo (a cousin of the ham and cheese Croque Monsieur.) Or maybe you didn’t notice until your Chinese Chicken McNuggets were served with chili garlic sauce. In Japan, there are several variations including Ume (plum) Nuggets.

Japanese McDonald’s establishments also sell an Ebi (shrimp) Fillet. (Like the Fillet O’ Fish, a greasy crunch of panko covers the protein.) Fish is an integral part of the traditional Japanese breakfast. And today’s #SundaySupper Twitter event shines a spotlight on breakfast for dinner dishes, so I decided to merge the American Egg McMuffin with the Ebi Fillet. Here’s my recipe for a copycat version of a Japanese McDonald’s Ebi Fillet. (If you’d like to join us for #SundaySupper, please scroll down for participation details.)
