Katsudon
"This can also be made with turkey or chicken and is a Japanese dish. If you can't find mirin or panko, you can substitute sherry and breadcrumbs, but the flavor will be different"

omigosh chia....i gotta say I LOVE YOU!!! lol. i lived in japan for a year. and one of the famous signature food was katsudon. it was just my favorite. ate it all the time. but once i moved back to the states...i wasn't able to find any restaurants that could replicate that flavor that i miss. and then i found your recipe..and omigosh...it's VERY AUTHENTIC in taste. only difference in japan was that it had a thin layer of egg that was obviously dipped in the yummy sauce around the crispy pork cutlet. this really was delicioius and it took me back to japan. this has beat out all my favorite recipes on recipezaar. this is now going on my #1. katsudon is originally made w/ pork but i made mine w/ thin sliced chicken breast. i think i like it better w/ chicken! THANK YOU so much for posting and sharing this recipe. you have no idea how happy you've made me and my family to have found this! -
just want to thank u, chia, 4 a winner recipe! my bf just love the crispy crust, the result of double crusting. he finished the whole bowl of katsudon, made with 2 chicken breasts. i smashed the breasts a little between clingwrap, with a frying pan. and the meat turned out very tender. thanks again!

VERY good! We loved the broth and double dipping the cutlets gives them the eggy texture that katsudon should have. After dipping and cooking the cutlets, I was left with about 1 cup of beaten egg, so while I kept the cutlets warm in the oven, I cooked the leftover egg mixture in the same pan in which I cooked the cutlets, and then served it on top of the katsudon. Chia, you've 'scooped' me on the katsudon, your recipe is replacing my old one. Total thumbs up, everyone was happy with dinner tonight! Thanks for the recipe! -
Hubby said 5 stars and insisted that this is going into the regular rotation before I even sat down to have my first bite!! It was DELICIOUS. And pretty inexpensive if you use those little pork cutlets. -
As she ate, she kept commenting about how delicious this chicken dish was. All my son had to say was that this was restaurant quality, and that was enough for me to file this under favourite recipes. Thank you so much for sharing.

Only change I made was to use onion powder instead of onions, and to change out some ingredients for more authentic ones (dashi stock instead of chicken, potato starch instead of flour). But yum this was awesome!

<p><br />in NY i used to have an (at home) jewelry business, but i incorporated it into the store's gift dept., they sell it for me now. <br />cooking is my passion, my hobby, my relaxation, but i love going out for a good meal anytime. being born and growing up in manhattan, ny gave me the opportunity to try many new foods over the years, in many great restaurants. and travelling with my dh enlightened me to the wonderful ingredients and cuisines of san francisco, among other places. <br />the new corporate spouse deal is to do a day of cooking lessons/lunch, and shopping, so i have seen demo classes in ft lauderdale, san antonio, atlanta in the past few years plus taken a few cooking classes in chinese dim sum and noodles in joseph poon's, in philly. <br />several years ago i had the pleasure of being on several of the food network shows, ready set cook and taste test, which was like food jeopardy. i didn't win either, but it was so much fun! <br />and before that, i was on wheel of fortune! yes, with pat and vanna. i was the big winner, and i won a trip to hong kong for a week, somewhere i never would have seen otherwise- <br />i have 4 daughters, 3 gkids and 1 on the way-- so far</p>
