Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Tonkatsu 1 piece
  • Eggs 2
  • Onion 1/4
  • Green onions to taste
  • Cooked rice to taste

Seasonings

  • [A] Water 50cc
  • [A] Soy sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Cooking sake 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin 1 tbsp
  • [A] Dashi powder 4g
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Thinly slice 1/4 onion.
  2. Whisk 2 eggs that have been brought to room temperature in a bowl. [This is the key!] Don't overmix; break them apart with large strokes for fluffy eggs.
  3. Lightly mist 1 piece of tonkatsu with water from a spray bottle. [This is the key!] Moistening the coating will help it regain crispiness when reheated.
  4. Warm 1 piece of tonkatsu in a toaster oven until just before the surface starts to burn.
  5. Cut the warmed tonkatsu into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Add 50cc water, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cooking sake, 1 tbsp mirin, 4g dashi powder, and 1 tsp sugar to a pot and heat over low heat.
  7. Once boiling, add the sliced 1/4 onion.
  8. When the onion becomes tender, add the warmed and chopped tonkatsu and simmer for about 30 seconds.
  9. Turn off the heat temporarily and pour in two-thirds of the whisked egg.
  10. Cover and cook over low heat for about 1 minute.
  11. After 1 minute, turn off the heat and pour in the remaining one-third of the whisked egg.
  12. Leave the lid on with the heat off and let it sit for about 1 minute to cook the egg with residual heat. [This is the key!] Don't overcook the egg; leave some parts runny.
  13. Loosen the back of the tonkatsu with a spatula.
  14. Place freshly cooked cooked rice to taste in a bowl and top with the tonkatsu.
  15. Top with green onions to taste as desired.
