Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl

November 12, 2010 By Lokness Leave a Comment

Many of the main Japanese dishes have a hint of sweet. This rice bowl is the same. The savory of the crispy pork chop is perfect with the sweet onions, eggs, and broth. Even though I didn’t use dashi broth and I only used water, my sister and I both agreed that this dish just tasted like the one in restaurants. The original recipe is a bit too sweet, so I reduce the sugar to 4 tablespoons in the following recipe. I believe this should just be right now. Give this a try! I think you will really like it.

 

Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl (Katsudon) (Adapted from Stewie’s Katsu-don on Food.com)

3 servings

Ingredients:

–   4 cups cooked rice

–   3 – 4 boneless pork chops (thinner cut is better)

–   4 tablespoons flour

–   1 onion (chopped)

–   3 – 4 eggs (lightly beaten), plus 1 egg for pork chops (beaten)

–   1 cup panko

–   vegetable oil

–   salt

–   black ground pepper

Broth:

–   1 cup dashi broth or 1 cup water

–   6 tablespoons soy sauce

–   4 tablespoons sugar

–   4 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

Directions:

  1. Dry the pork chops, and trim off fat from the pork. Pound them thin about ¼ inch thick. Season the chops with salt and pepper.
  2. Mix the broth ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  3. In three plates, put the flour, panko, and beaten egg on them separately.
  4. Dust the pork chops first with flour, then dip into the egg. Lastly, coat them with panko. Set aside.
  5. In a large pan or wok with medium-high heat, heat up 3 – 4 tablespoons vegetable oil until a few breadcrumbs dropped into the middle of the oil surface immediately.
  6. Fry the pork chop in the oil until light brown about 2 – 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. When the pork chops are warm, cut them into strips. Set aside.
  7. In another large pan with medium heat, heat the broth until it starts to boil. Add the onions and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
  8. Turn up to high heat. Pour in the lightly beaten egg slowly into the pan and stir gently for a couple times. Cover and cook for 20 – 30 seconds.
  9. When the eggs are cooked, place the pork chops on top of the broth and warm up for about 1 minute.
  10. Place the cooked rice in a deep individual bowl, and cover the rice with the egg mixture and pork chops. Serve immediately.

Where can you buy mirin, panko, and dashi broth?

I found both mirin and panko in normal grocery stores in the Asian food aisle. I didn’t look for the dashi broth, but I am sure you can find it in Japanese supermarket, like Mitsuwa.

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now open Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅

Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Ita Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Italian style shaved ice made w/ fresh cherries, & paired w/ a creamy mascarpone topping. It’s sweet, little tart, refreshing & creamy all at once! No shaved ice machine is needed. All you have to do is to scrape the fruit liquid with a fork every once a while. That’ll prevent the liquid turning into a giant black of ice. You’ll get these flavorful tiny ice flakes at the end. 🍒🧊🍧
