What's for Dinner? - Katsudon

One of the Youtube cooking shows I subscribed to is Cookingwithdog, it's got a cute puppy narrating in this funny accent demonstrating how to cook Japanese cuisine. And I came across one of my favorite Japanese dishes, Katsudon - fried pork cops with egg and onion. I never realized how easy it was to make. Here is the Youtube video for reference: 




Recipe:
Ingredients for Katsudon
(serves 1)

- Tonkatsu (Pork Cutlet) -
120g (4¼ oz) 1cm thick Pork Loin Slice
A sprinkle of Salt and Pepper
All-Purpose Flour for dusting
¼ Egg
A sprinkle of Water
Nama-Panko - Soft Bread Crumbs

Frying Oil (Vegetable Oil) (340 °F/170 °C)

50ml Water (1.7 fl oz)
A pinch of Kombu or Bonito Stock Powder
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Mirin
1 tsp Sugar

70g Onion (2½ oz)
1 Egg
Mitsuba Parsley ( or Cilantro)

200g Fresh Steamed Rice (7 oz)




Here is my attempt:



pork chops pounded thin

basic frying ingridents - flour (season with five spice powder, salt, white pepper), egg wash, and panko crumbs.

sliced onions

stock - water and bonito stock powder 

Add the soy, mirin, sugar and add the onions and cook for couple minutes

Meanwhile the fried pork chops are ready

Slice them into smaller pieces, place into the onion sauce and add 1 lightly beaten egg.
 Cover and simmer for  30 seconds.

Finished product served over rice - not bad! Very tasty as well.
