Ingredients

  • Pork tonkatsu1 chopped
  • Sushi rice200g
  • Eggs2 Beaten
  • Onion1 large
  • Vegetable stock150ml
  • soy sauce1 tbs
  • Mirin1 tsp
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • ChivesChopped
  • Vegetable oil1 tbs

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions and Pork

    14 min

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Once the onions are ready, place the chopped pork tonkatsu in the center of the pan to warm up.

  2. Prepare Sauce Mixture

    10 min

    In a mixing bowl, combine vegetable stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely. Pour three-quarters of this sauce mixture around the tonkatsu in the pan, allowing it to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the tonkatsu is heated through.

  3. Add Eggs and Cook

    6 min

    Gently pour the beaten eggs around the tonkatsu in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny, creating a creamy texture. Keep the heat at medium to avoid overcooking the eggs, ensuring they remain soft and tender.

  4. Plate and Garnish

    5 min

    Divide sushi rice between two serving bowls, creating a base for the toppings. Spoon half of the tonkatsu and egg mixture over each bowl of rice. Finish by sprinkling with chopped chives and, if desired, drizzle a little extra soy sauce over the top for added flavor.
