Yup! We had Tonkatsu for dinnner :) I played a litle trick on this - No, not about using frozen pork chop but instead of using my Don-pan (which I usually do for donburi), I merely fried the pork chop, cut and shove it on to the rice then pour the pre-prepared sauce over.
Alright, need to rest my aching back! Age's catching up I suppose!
To make this, you'll need:
- Pork Loin, 180g - Pounded flat with a meat hammer (is that how you call that tool?)
- 1 big Onion, sliced
- Panko, 1 packet (Japanese Bread crumbs)
- Plain flour
- 3 tbsp of Soy sauce
- 50ml of water
- 2 tbsp of sugar
- Spring onions, sliced (for garnishing)
- 1 beaten egg (for coating)
- 1 lightly beaten egg (for the sauce)
- 1 bowl of cooked Japanese rice
- Dust the Pork Loin with plain flour, followed by a layer of egg mixture and then covered well with panko. Set aside.
- Heat up a frying pot filled with oil (enough to cover the surface of the pork loin), once temp is ready, fry the prepared pork loin till golden brown.
- Fill a bowl with rice. In a saucepan, pour soy sauce, sugar and water and bring it to boil. Add in the sliced onions and cooked till soft
- Stir in the lightly beaten egg and shut off the heat. Cut up the deep-fried pork loin and place it on top of the rice.
- Pour the sauce over and garnish with spring onions.
