Recipe 🍳
- Chop half an onion finely, keeping some texture.
- Heat generous amount of vegetable oil in a pan, then add chopped onion, minced pork, and 0.5 tablespoon of minced garlic.
- Sprinkle with two pinches of salt and a little pepper, then stir-fry until the pork is fully cooked.
- Once the pork is cooked through, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of curry powder evenly and stir-fry again to infuse the distinctive aroma.
- Add 4 tablespoons of tonkatsu sauce and 4 tablespoons of tomato spaghetti sauce, stirring well to combine and cook until the mixture becomes moist and glossy.
- Lower the heat to low, then crack 4 eggs into the pan, spacing them out so they don’t overlap.
- Tear 1–2 perilla leaves by hand and scatter them evenly around the eggs to enhance fragrance.
- Cover the pan and let the eggs cook gently using the residual heat. Finish by sprinkling a little more pepper.
- Stir-fry chopped onion, minced pork, and minced garlic with salt and pepper until golden brown.
- Add curry powder, tonkatsu sauce, and tomato sauce one after another to create a moist sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, place eggs and torn perilla leaves on top, cover the pan, and cook gently.
Cooking tips 💡
- The curry powder used here enhances the depth and exotic aroma of the sauce rather than delivering a strong curry flavor.
- You can substitute perilla leaves with basil or parsley, but perilla’s fresh, aromatic profile creates a surprisingly perfect match with the tomato and curry sauce.
- Since the sauce thickens quickly, avoid high heat when cooking the eggs—always use low heat and keep the lid on to prevent burning.
