Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each seasoned chicken thigh in all-purpose flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken thighs. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, heat dashi stock over medium heat. Add sliced onion and simmer until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and mirin.

  5. 5

    Combine the Ingredients

    Slice the fried chicken into strips and place over cooked rice in a large bowl. Pour the sauce and onion mixture over the chicken and rice.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the katsu don with sliced green onions and drizzle with katsu sauce. Serve immediately.
