Seungwoo Dad's Donkkaseu Deopbap

An ultra-simple katsudon that uses store-bought tonkatsu for a crispy texture and pours a moist egg and vegetable sauce made savory with chicken stock and oyster sauce.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who find simply baking frozen tonkatsu boring and want to transform it into a moist, luxurious dish.
  • Those who want to whip up a deep-flavored katsudon sauce without having Japanese-specific soy sauce seasonings at home.
  • Those who want to enjoy the harmony of crispy fried food and soft egg and vegetable sauce in a single bowl.

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 store-bought tonkatsu
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • some enoki mushrooms
  • 1 egg
  • some green onions
  • appropriate amount of umami broth ingredients (chicken stock, oyster sauce, etc.)
  • 1 bowl of rice

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cook the store-bought tonkatsu according to the package instructions until crispy, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Thinly slice the onion, slice the garlic, chop the green onions, and separate the enoki mushrooms into individual strands.
  3. Heat oil in a pan, add the sliced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and translucent.
  4. When the onion is cooked, add the enoki mushrooms, then pour in the savory sauce made with water, chicken stock, and oyster sauce. Bring to a boil.
  5. Once the sauce is boiling, pour the beaten egg around the edges in a circular motion.
  6. When the egg is cooked to your preference (soft-set or fully set), turn off the heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
  7. Place rice in a bowl, top with the cooked tonkatsu, then pour the moist egg and vegetable sauce from the pan over everything to finish.
  1. Cook the tonkatsu until crispy and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic in a pan, add enoki mushrooms and broth made with chicken stock and oyster sauce, then bring to a boil.
  3. Pour in beaten egg, lightly cook, then pour the sauce over rice and tonkatsu, and sprinkle with green onions to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • To enjoy the tonkatsu's crispiness until the end, we recommend not pouring the sauce directly on top of the tonkatsu, but rather spreading it around the rice and meat.
  • If you don't have bonito flakes, the combination of chicken stock and oyster sauce almost perfectly replicates the deep flavor of Japanese sauce.
  • If you cook the egg too hard, it becomes dry; the charm of katsudon is to turn off the heat when it's about 70% cooked and let the residual heat finish it to a moist texture.
