Hello, I’m Lucy. Today, I’m sharing one of Japan’s most comforting rice bowls—
Katsudon, a hearty combo of juicy pork cutlet, sweet-savory egg, and fluffy rice. It’s the perfect balance of crispy and tender in every bite.
Ingredients: Pork tenderloin 🐖, flour 🌾, eggs 🥚, oil 🛢️, panko breadcrumbs 🍞, dashi stock 🍲, soy sauce 🧂, mirin 🍶, sugar 🍬, onion 🧅, rice 🍚, scallions 🌿
Quick Prep: Pound the pork to tenderize, then coat with flour, egg + oil, and panko. Fry until golden and crispy. Simmer sliced onions in a dashi-based broth, add beaten eggs in portions for a soft, layered texture.
Place the tonkatsu on top—either before or after the eggs depending on your preference—and serve over warm rice with scallions.
The crispy coating locks in the juices, while the soft, runny egg absorbs the rich broth—every spoonful is a mix of crunch, umami, and warmth. As one viewer put it: “This dish feels like a hug in a bowl.”
