Description

A warm and savory Japanese comfort food featuring crispy pork cutlets, fluffy eggs, and steamed rice topped with a flavorful dashi broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork cutlets
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 4 cups dashi broth
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional: pickled ginger, scallions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Pound the pork cutlets to tenderize, then coat each cutlet in flour, dip in eggs, and press into Panko.
  3. Heat oil in a pan to 350°F and fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a separate pot, sauté onions until translucent, then add dashi broth, soy sauce, and mirin.
  5. Simmer the sauce before adding the fried cutlets and beaten eggs to create a creamy topping.
  6. Serve the cutlets over a bed of cooked rice and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with pickled ginger and scallions if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, avoid using regular breadcrumbs; Panko is essential for a crispy coating.
