Main ingredient
- 3 pork
Fresh & other
- 3 onions
- 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp vegetable stock Shopping tip: Vegetable broth (carton or can), or a bouillon cube in hot water.
- 2 ½ tsp mirin
- 2 ½ tsp sugar
- 5 eggs
- 1.1 lb sushi rice
- Chopped chive Shopping tip: Fresh chives. Green onion tops work too.

How to make it
Steps in our own plain words.
-
Heat the oil in a pan.
-
Fry the sliced onion until golden.
-
Add the tonkatsu, placing it in your middle of the pan.
-
Mix the sugar together, mirin, soy and dashi and tip three-quarters of the mix around the tonkatsu.
-
Sizzle for 2 mins so your sauce thickens a little plus the tonkatsu reheats.
-
Tip the beaten eggs around the tonkatsu.
-
Heat for 2-3 mins till your egg is cooked through but still little runny.
-
Split it between two bowls.
-
Top every with half the egg and tonkatsu mix.
-
Sprinkle over the chives.
-
Serve right away, drizzling using little more soy if you want extra umami kick.
