Seungwoo Dad's Tonkatsu Donburi

Cooking tips 💡

• To fully enjoy the crispiness of the tonkatsu, avoid pouring too much sauce directly on top—instead, drizzle it around the rice and meat for balanced flavor.
• Without katsuobushi, the combination of chicken stock and oyster sauce delivers a remarkably close approximation of authentic Japanese umami depth.
• Avoid overcooking the egg, as it becomes dry and rubbery; turn off the heat when the egg is about 70% set and let residual heat finish cooking it for a tender, moist texture.
