How to Make Katsudon | カツ丼 | Japanese Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl

Katsudon is one of the most popular ways of eating tonkatsu in Japan, but it hasn’t quite caught on abroad as much. I think it’s because of the idea of putting a crispy fried thing into a liquid that softens it isn’t often done in Western cooking. The idea, however, is quite common in Japanese cuisine and it is done so that the breading will absorb the flavour of the liquid while softening to a sticky (ネチョネチョ), silky (ネバネバ) texture.

    When i was twelve years old i traveled to Japan to be a exchange student. After landing in Tokyo Mr. Kanzaki "father of the family i stayed with" asked if i would like to eat before we started the train trip back to his home in Narita. I agreed and he took me to what i would consider to be the equivalent to an western pub. And this was my first meal while in Japan, and will probably be one of the most memorable. Now as a merchant mariner im lucky that my work brings me back to Japan quite often. I typically make port in either Sasebo "love the burgers" and Yokohama "ramen". But ive made it a tradition that my first meal is always Katsudon.

At the time i was 12 so the smaller portions felt closer to a meal. The decor had a sort of British feel to it but still was distinctly Japanese. Look up Izakaya, this was the type of place that we went to.

    About 20 years ago I was working at a Japanese factory for a few weeks and met this guy named Toshi. One day he asked me if I could help him move. I didn't know him very well but thought it wouldn't hurt to make a friend and maybe he didn't have anyone else to ask so I agreed. I showed up early saturday morning and he made a pork dish similar to this. It was delicious and I'll never forget it.

    I'm half Japanese, but am not a big fan of Katsudon, although everyone in my family loves it. I currently take care of my mother who is Japanese and has Alzheimer's, and doesn't remember a lot of recipes, so when I make Katsudon for here, I always have to look up the recipe. This by far has been the closest and, as someone said earlier, your voice is very calming. I do make quite a bit of Japanese food, but mostly the stuff I like. LOL Thank you, I'm going to try this recipe tonight with the exception of making my own dashi. :)

    This has been a staple with my family growing up. My mother made this differently, sautéing the onions and sauce together in the pan, adding the tonkatsu to the rice bowl, covering with the onions and sauce, then cracking the egg into the bowl directly. All ingredients would be steaming hot. She would then cover each bowl with a tightly fitting lid and let the egg steam in the bowl for a few minutes. Uncover, garnish, and serve. This brings back memories of time spend around a dinner table with family. Very nice recipe.

    I don't know if they use something similar in Japan as they do in Korea, but I think one fun thing you could do with this dish is preheat the rice in a 돌솥 (stone bowl) brushed down with a little oil while the katsu and toppings are steaming. Just enough to give the rice some nice caramelization on the bottom.

    While I was in Japan, a friend of mine asked me to find a dish that this parents, who were visiting the country at the time, would eat. I was told that they weren't very adventurous eaters, but they still wanted to try something quintessentially Japanese, so after thinking for a long time, I took them to a place that served katsudon. I was worried that the unfamiliar "semi-cooked" texture of the egg might put them off, but they were blown away and ate absolutely all of it. Wonderful dish.

    I had this in Okinawa when I was teaching there. They added green peppers and bean sprouts (moyashi) to the vegetables. One of the students recommended it to me when we went to grab lunch from a local vendor. After that, I was having it twice a week for lunch.

    the moments from 1:15 on are so chill yet so epic due to the music
