Photo: Katsudon Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice (rinse well before cooking to remove the starch)
- 3 eggs
- 2 (4-ounce) boneless pork chops
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs {Japanese}
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup dashi stock
- 1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice cooking wine)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 green onions sliced into 1-inch pieces
Directions
Prepare the rice 1 hour before the meal.
Beat 1 of the eggs in a bowl and dredge the pork cutlets in it and then into the bread crumbs.
Fry them in hot oil until golden and tender, drain on paper towels. Slice the cutlets on the bias into 1/2-inch strips.
Bring the dashi, mirin, and soy sauce to a boil in a pot. Then add the sliced green onion, and simmer until soft. Half fill 2 deep bowls with the rice. Arrange 1 sliced cutlet on the rice in each bowl to look like it is intact.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl then pour slowly over the onion into the dashi in the pot. When the egg is nearly set, stir once. Ladle half of the egg mass on top of the pork in each bowl.
Then ladle more broth among the bowls. You may not need to use it all. Serve immediately.

Being a student of Japanese cuisine I decided to humor Ms. Deen and give her recipe a try. Unfortunately I found it to be quite substandard.
Rice is the staple of Japanese food, so it's something that need special attention. Fresh rice is preferable, but if you have a rice cooker then all you have to do is time your meal. Here starchy rice is preferable. When you get the dish the rice soaks up the sauce and is almost as good as the cutlet itself.
Thin slice an onion, instead of green onions or slice them for garnish. With respect to Ms. Deen, she may know a lot about butter and fried foods, but she's no expert on Japanese cuisine. For those looking for good, authentic, Japanese recipes do an internet search for cooking with dog. You won't be disappointed. (FYI the dog is the host, not the ingredient...
It's my hope that food network will contact her to post her recipes on the site. You might think having a Japanese cook posting Japanese recipes to be a good idea...

This may be a fine meal, but name it something different--even the photo is nothing like an authentic Japanese katsudon--my favorite dish, but I'll have to look further for a recipe.
