Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Katsu
  • Onion
  • Egg

Seasonings

  • [A] Water 50cc
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Sake 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin 1 tbsp
  • [A] Dashi powder (optional)

Steps

  1. Place 4 pieces of freshly fried katsu, cut into bite-sized pieces, in a pot, and arrange sliced onions around them.
  2. Mix 50cc water, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp sake, and 1 tbsp mirin in a bowl.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce in a straight line over the katsu without hesitation. 【This is the secret!】Pouring over the katsu allows it to soak up plenty of sauce, resulting in a flavorful dish.
  4. Place the pot over medium heat. 【This is the secret!】Do not use high heat immediately; simmering slowly over medium heat prevents the katsu from burning.
  5. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 40 seconds.
  6. Slightly reduce the heat.
  7. Beat the egg. 【This is the secret!】Do not mix the egg white and yolk too much; mix them about 5-6 times, as if cutting them.
  8. First, pour the beaten egg in a horizontal line, then pour the remainder around the edges.
  9. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 20 seconds.
  10. Turn off the heat and let it steam for about 15 seconds.
  11. Gently shake and serve in a bowl. 【This is the secret!】Gently shaking makes it easier to plate.
