Pork Cutlet Katsudon Recipes

Steps:

• To make the dashi, bring the water and kombu up to a simmer, then turn off the heat. Fish out the kombu, then add the bonito, and allow to steep for 2 or 3 minutes. Skim off any scum on the surface, and pour through a fine-mesh strainer. Keep in the fridge.
• To make the cutlets, put the flour, egg and panko in three separate wide bowls. Generously season each cutlet with salt and pepper on both sides. Dip them, one at a time, in the flour, then the egg, then the panko, making sure each cutlet is totally covered in crumbs. Pour vegetable oil into a large, wide skillet until it's just under an inch high, and set over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Fry cutlets until golden brown and crisp, turning after 3 minutes, and frying for a total of 6 minutes. Set on a wire rack to cool, then slice into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2/3 cup dashi, soy sauce, mirin, onion, ginger and peas, if using. Bring to a simmer, then turn the heat down to low and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion has softened. Carefully place the sliced cutlets on top of the onion and broth. Cover, and cook for 3 more minutes.
• Crack eggs into a small bowl, and beat them with a fork, then pour all along the top of the cutlets. Don't stir, just cover and cook until the eggs are just about set but still slightly wobbly. To serve, heap rice into bowls, then slide cutlet slices, eggs and broth on top of each. Sprinkle with scallions.

Steps:

• 1. Divide 1 egg in half. Add a fourth of the water and beat lightly. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on the chop and rub. Coat the chop with flour using the brush to evenly spread the coating.
• 2. Heat the oil to 360 degrees F. Put the coated chop in the egg wash on both sides. Then add panko crumbs on a separate platter. Generously coat the chop with panko. Drop into the hot oil to fry. Stirring around until golden brown, then turn to cook the other side.
• 3. Tendon sauce: (Use a medium frying pan) Add mirin, dashi grated, soy sauce, garlic, slice onions, sugar and water. Cover the pan and let it come to a boil on medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it boil about 3 more minutes. Place the pork cutlets in the sauce and cover the pan for another 20 seconds.
• 4. Crack 1 egg and lightly beat the yolk. Pour onto the pork chop and add the green onions on top of the cutlets. Cover the pan and cook on High heat for about 20-30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat. Set aside with lid on.
• 5. Scoop cooked hot white rice in a bowl. Scoop the cooked pork chop from the frying pan and place over the rice. Add parsley for garnish and cover the bowl with a plate and let it steam.
• 6. REPEAT THE ABOVE STEPS FOR THE REMAINING PORK CHOPS. (Use the divided ingredients for each pork chop)

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil 1-inch deep in frying pan or wok to 340F or until a few breadcrumbs dropped into the middle of the oil surface immediately.
• Trim off fat from the pork and pound it to make it thin.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Dust first with flour, then dip into the beaten egg, then the panko crumbs.
• Fry in the oil until light brown--about 4 minutes/side.
• Drain on paper towels and then cut into 1" strips.
• Mix the broth ingredients together in a bowl.
• Then heat 1/4 of the broth in a separate skillet, bringing it just to a boil.
• Add the slices of 1 pork cutlet and cook one minute.
• When the broth has fully coated the cutlet, pour one portion of the beaten eggs into the skillet and stir.
• Add 2 Tbsp. green peas and cook 30 seconds more.
• Place one serving of rice into a deep bowl, then remove the cutlet and egg mixture from the skillet and place over the rice.
• Repeat this for the remaining servings.
