Description
Japanese Katsu Bowls with Tonkatsu Sauce are a delicious and satisfying meal featuring crispy breaded pork served over rice with fresh vegetables and a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless pork loin chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup tonkatsu sauce
Instructions
- Start by cooking the white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the pork chops. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in another dish, and place the panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
- Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot (about 350°F). Carefully add the breaded pork chops to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- To assemble the bowls, place a serving of warm rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with sliced katsu, shredded cabbage, and green onions. Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce before serving.
Notes
- For a crispier katsu, double-dip the pork chops in the egg and panko breadcrumbs.
- Try substituting chicken or eggplant for the pork for a different flavor profile.
