Ingredients
4 pieces boneless skinless Chicken Thighs or Pork
1 Tablespoon Hawaiian salt/coarse sea salt
2 eggs beaten until scrambled for egg wash
flour
panko
oil for frying
1 packet dashi in 1 cup water (or 1 cup chicken broth + 2 Tbsp bingo flakes)
3 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce3 Tablespoons mirin
1/2 thinly sliced yellow onion
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, beaten
steamed rice
optional-chopped green onion for garnish
Directions
- Heat pan with vegetable oil on medium high heat.
- Sprinkle and rub Hawaiian salt on chicken or pork (It may seem like a lot of salt but it really brings out the flavor.
- Get out 3 bowls and fill 1 egg wash, 1 with flour, and 1 with panko.
- Coat the pork or chicken in flour, then dip in egg, and last coat with panko before putting it into the hot oil to fry.
- Fry until medium brown on both sides.
- While meat is frying make sauce. In a small bowl mix the dashi mixture, soy sauce, mirin, onion, and sugar.
- Drain excess oil on paper towel.
- Cut cutlet into 1 inch strips.
- Since this recipe is for 2 bowls put half of the sauce you made into a small pot and bring to a boil. When the onions are slightly translucent, nestle one of the tonkatsu/katsu cutlets on top of the boiling mixture. *It is important that the sauce does not cover the entire cutlet or it will become soggy-nobody likes soggy :-(
- Immediately pour half of the beaten egg on top of the cutlet and put the lid on so the egg can firm up.
- While it's cooking get your rice bowl ready.
- After 2 minutes remove the lid and carefully move the cutlet with a large spatula and place onto the rice.
- Garnish with your optional green onion and serve.
- Repeat these steps for the other cutlet OR if doubling this recipe use a pan instead of a pot to fit more cutlets.
- Eat while it's a little crispy, hot, saucy, and a lot of OISHI!
