💡Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend storing this recipe in an airtight tin in the fridge for up to 3 days.
These Japanese breadcrumbs make for a much better breaded, golden and crispier result. You can replace it with normal breadcrumbs, which will be very tasty but less crunchy.
It's "THE" basic broth in Japanese cuisine, a bit like poultry or vegetable broth for us. It has a delicious umami taste. You can replace it with our broths, but that would be a shame.
This is a Japanese culinary sake, crucial for this recipe.
I use sushi rice, but when I don't have any, I use classic Basmati rice.

📖 Recette
Japanese Katsudon
Ingredients
- 2 chicken cutlets
- 3 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 6 tablespoons of Panko breadcrumbs
- 200 ml of Dashi broth
- 7 tablespoons of soy sauce salty (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon of mirin sauce
- 1 shallot
- Olive oil
- Visit sheets of coriander fresh
- 1 bowl of Japanese rice
Instructions
- Beat the eggs on a plate. Then coat the cutlets in breadcrumbs, dipping them in beaten eggs, flour, eggs again and finally Panko breadcrumbs. Don't throw away the beaten eggs - they'll be used in the rest of the recipe!
- Cook the cutlets over medium heat in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil for about 5-10 minutes on each side, then set aside.
- In the same frying pan, sauté the shallot, thinly sliced beforehand, with a little olive oil. Then add the dashi broth, soy sauce and mirin. Leave to infuse for one or two minutes.
- Lower the heat, add the breaded cutlets to the center of the pan, then the remaining beaten eggs around them and cook over low heat until an omelet forms (it should be quite runny).
- Serve in a bowl with the rice and a sprinkling of coriander, then enjoy this culinary marvel!
Notes
- For a crispy Katsudon: instead of placing the breaded chicken in the broth and adding the eggs around it, place the breaded chicken directly on the rice and add the omelette around it. That way, the chicken fillets won't get soggy.
- Storage: once cold, place Katsudon in an airtight Tupperware-style container. This means you can keep it for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: to reheat, leave in a frying pan over low heat for a few minutes. You can also put it in an oven at 160°C for about ten minutes. Avoid the microwave, which will soften the breadcrumbs.
