Baked Tonkatsu Don
Konnichiwa, it's Nami from Just one cookbook.
Today, I want to show you a popular Japanese rice bowl dish called Katsudon.
It's deep fry cutlet cooked in a Dashi broth and serve over rice.
Instead of deep frying, I'll show you how to bake Tonkatsu in the oven.
Many of you have tried my Baked Tonkatsu and Chicken Katsu recipes and gave me thumbs up,
so I hope you would like my Katsudon recipe.
Let me show you how to put it together.
a frying pan over medium heat
add 1 cup panko ( Japanese bread crumbs)
1 Tbsp olive oil
toast over medium heat until golden brown
transfer panko into a shallow dish and allow to cool
cut 1/2 onions into thin slices
cut mitsuba into small pieces
prepare 2 pieces ( 1/2 lb or 220 g ) pork loin
trim excess fat
cut the connective tissue
pound the meat with a meat pounder
mold pork chop bak into original shape
preheat the oven to 400 ºF ( 200 ºC )
sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper on the pork chop
dredge the pork chop in 1~2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
pat off the excess flour
beat one egg in a bowl
coat the pork chop with the beaten egg
coat with the toasted panko
press on the panko flakes to make sure they adhere to the pork
place the pork on oven-safe wire rack
bake at 400F ( 200C ) for about 20 minutes
combine 1 cup of Dshi, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp mirin
add 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 2 Tbsp sake
mix all together
beat 2 ( use 1 for each serving ) eggs
take out baked Tonkatsu from oven
cut into 1-inch pieces
put half of the onion slices into the pan
pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the sauce per serving to cover them
bring the sauce and onions to a boil then lower to medium heat
cook onion slices until translucent, about 4-5 minutes
put one Baked Tonkatsu in it and turn the heat to medium high
pour and distribute beaten egg evenly
cover with the lid and cook egg until slightly running
serve rice in a donburi bowl,
and slide Tonkatsu and egg mixture on top
topped with mitsuba
itadakimasu!
