What You Need to Get Started
Alright, let’s gather the essentials! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 lb pork loin (boneless, thinly sliced)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup dashi stock (or chicken stock)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 onion (thinly sliced)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions to Make Your Dream Bowl
- First off, let’s prepare the pork! Season your pork loin with salt and pepper, then dip each piece in flour, followed by beaten eggs, and finally, coat it with the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure it’s as crispy as possible—nobody wants soggy pork here!
- Heat about an inch of oil in a heavy pan. Once it’s hot, carefully fry the pork pieces until they’re golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side. Once done, drain them on some paper towels to remove excess oil.
- In another pan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sliced onions. Simmer this mixture for around 5 minutes until the onions soften.
- Now, cut your crispy pork into strips and place them back in the pan with the sauce. Let it dance around for another minute or two, soaking up all the flavors!
- Time to assemble! Place a generous scoop of rice in a bowl, top it with that succulent pork and onion mix, and don’t be shy with the sauce. Garnish with some green onions, and voilà—you’ve created Katsudon!
Now you have your very own bowl of happiness. Dig in and enjoy every crispy, savory bite. You’ve earned it!
