      In Japan, they will feed the chickens paprika to make the yolks redder. But also in Japan, they will sometimes go to some effort to feed the chickens good seeds and grains to improve the quality of the eggs, but not always. Premium eggs are more expensive, of course. I do not know about the nutritional benefit of using paprika. I am sure good seeds and grains will add a nutritional benefit to the eggs.

    If you substitute the chicken with any other meat, it becomes a rice bowl called _Tanin-don_ (他人丼, strangers rice bowl), or _Mamako-don_ (継子丼, stepparent-and-child rice bowl).

    I appreciate it SO much when TV chefs make a recipe and go "oh, but you can just use a skillet. oh, but you can use regular onion too." Kenji's approach to food gives me a huge boost of confidence in the kitchen. I remember him saying in another video: "Some people would say it's not 'authentic'. I say I -don't care-. It tastes good." And that's a mood.

    Can you do a video about some of your hygiene habits?

    Do you keep the egg shells in the box until they're all gone?
    How frequently do you wash the towels?
    Do you have separate cutting boards for meats and non meats?
    When did you learn about the table top trashcan? I found out this was convenient one summer while cooking at home and just used a yogurt container as a trashcan.
    How frequently do you clean your kitchen counter tops?
    You seem to use a loooooot of cooking utensils /containers compared to what I'm used to. Do you clean these immediately after cooking? Is it ever annoying?
    Etcetc.
    Maybe you can do a Q&A for these kinds of questions if you have the time!

Japanese green Sichuan peppers called sansho are often used in the Kyoto/Osaka area. Black pepper is used sometimes. In different areas dried Shiso seeds or leaves are added. Usually there are just 7 spices but sometimes 10 spices are used, sometimes only black spices are used. There are all kinds of local variations.

      In most Chinese dialects, the word is a variation of Cha. The word chai just means tea in India as well. It probably reached the Arabic-speaking world via Iran.
