Pork Katsu

Sweet Soy Dashi

Toppings

Method

Prepare Pork Katsu

  1. 1

    Season Pork

    Season the pork loin chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Dredge each pork chop in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Fry Pork

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.

Prepare Sweet Soy Dashi

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 5

    Caramelize Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In the same skillet used for the pork, add a bit of oil if necessary and cook the onions over medium heat until they become soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cook Eggs

    In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Pour the eggs over the caramelized onions in the skillet and stir gently until just set.

  3. 7

    Chop Scallions

    Chop the scallions finely and set aside.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the Rice

    Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.

  2. 9

    Top with Ingredients

    Slice the fried pork katsu and place it on top of the rice. Spoon the caramelized onions and egg mixture over the katsu. Drizzle the sweet soy dashi over everything and garnish with chopped scallions.
