Choi Kang-rok's Hamkatsudon

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• To ensure the batter adheres well and to avoid the batter slipping due to body heat and moisture when handling the ham with hands, use skewers. This allows for a uniform and neat coating.
• Unlike tonkatsu, ham katsu for donburi should be sliced relatively thinly for easy eating in one bite with rice.
• While the sauce for appetizers is seasoned lightly, the sauce for donburi, meant to be mixed with rice, is made richer by increasing the ratio of soy sauce and mirin for a balanced flavor with the rice.
