How To Make Katsudon At Home

As a college student Donburi from the local Japanese restaurant adjacent to campus proved a steady and reliable respite from studying for long hours and late nights. Making Katsudon gives me great nostalgia for those times and doubles as a weeknight staple dish.
It's unique from an American perspective because of the way the cutlet is steamed after frying - usually you would want the cutlet as crispy as you can get it, but the nooks and crannies in the panko soak up the steaming liquid and make for a uniquely flavorful texture.

i usually cook my katsudon with the egg fried together with the meat for that eggy texture and flavour but this is interesting how you steam it and separate the frying of the meat and egg !!

[@sambretz]

I love it that way too! Something I like about doing the egg alone is that you have a little bit more control over size of the curd while you cook it, but one thing you lose out on is the way the eggs binds all the tonkatsu together if you pour it directly over
