Katsudon — Japanese Pork in Egg

Crispy breaded pork in a sweet soy sauce with egg and rice — a classic Japanese dish that comes together quickly and satisfies even the most demanding appetite.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 pcs Onion
• 1 pcs Pork cutlet (tonkatsu)
• 150 ml Vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Mirin
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 2 pcs Egg
• 200 g Sushi rice
• 1 bunch Green onion

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the onion into half-rings and sauté until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes.
2. Place the cutlet in the center of the skillet. Mix the broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar together, then pour three-quarters of this mixture around the cutlet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the cutlet is heated through.
3. Lightly beat the eggs and carefully pour them around the cutlet. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set while the yolk remains slightly runny.
4. Divide the hot rice between two bowls. Divide the cutlet with egg and onion evenly between the bowls and place on top of the rice. Sprinkle with green onion, add a splash of soy sauce if desired for extra depth of flavor, and serve immediately.
