Japanese Katsudon

Ingredients

main

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pcs onion
  • 1 pcs pork (tonkatsu)
  • 150 ml vegetable stock (dashi)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 pcs eggs (beaten)
  • 200 g sushi rice (cooked)
  • pcs chives (chopped)

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the sliced onion until golden brown.
  • Place the pork tonkatsu in the middle of the pan.
  • Mix the stock, soy sauce, mirin and sugar and pour about three quarters of the mixture around the tonkatsu.
  • Sizzle for a couple of minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and the tonkatsu reheats.
  • Pour the beaten eggs around the tonkatsu and cook 2–3 minutes until the egg is set but still slightly runny.
  • Divide the rice between two bowls and top each with half the egg and tonkatsu mixture.
  • Sprinkle with chopped chives and drizzle extra soy if desired before serving.
