Recipe #154: Katsudon


Katsudon is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. The warmness of the bowl makes me so happy! I had made this years ago and really wanted to make it again, but didn't have the recipe. Instead I found this AMAZING :) youtube video that will rock your world! :) I used it mostly to get info on how to make the sauce. Overall it maybe took me 35-40 minutes to make this meal, definitely less time then I might have imagined!

You need:
Pork cutlets, I actually cut about four pieces from a pork tenderloin
4 eggs
2 cups panko
flour
onion
oil for frying

sauce:
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp (ish) dashi
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp mirin
2 tsp sugar

  • pound pork a little bit to flatten
  • dip and coat well in flour, egg then panko.
  • place in heated pan with oil, cook until dark brown on both sides
  • place on top of a cooling rack with a paper towel underneath to catch the access oil.
  • in a smaller fry pan, add ingredients for sauce
  • heat for a bit, then add onions and cook until tender
  • cut pork into strips, but not all the way through 
  • add pork on top of onion and sauce. 
  • Beat 3 eggs a bit poor on top of pork.
  • Allow eggs to cook a bit. 
  • In a deep bowl, put some rice, then add some sauce, onion, and pork to the top.
  • Enjoy!!
