Katsudon (Deep Fried Pork Cutlets Rice Bowl) カツ丼
Description
This Katsudon recipe starts with pre-cooked tonkatsu-style pork cutlets sliced into narrow strips. Onion slices soften in bubbling dashi stock combined with mirin, sugar, and soy sauce, creating a flavorful broth. The sliced pork is added to warm through in the sauce. Then, lightly beaten eggs are poured over the pork and sauce, cooking briefly so the eggs remain partially runny and silky rather than fully firm.
The layering of the pork and egg mixture over steamed white rice creates a comforting dish where the sweet-savory sauce infuses the pork slices and rice. The textural contrast between crispy fried pork edges and the soft egg complements well. A topping of chopped green onions, mitsuba leaves, or shiso adds a fresh aromatic note.
Katsudon is typically served immediately for best texture of the egg and pork. It can also be adapted substituting chicken or beef cutlets. The balance of dashi broth, sweet mirin and sugar, and savory soy sauce provides a nuanced flavor foundation for the dish.
