Tonkatsu or Katsu Curry
I love eating Japanese cuisine and this dish has the perfect combination of breaded meat, assorted vegetables and curry sauce.
This dish is very popular and can be brought in restaurants and supermarkets in Japan and has become a national dish, as it is so widely eaten.
This is one of my go to Japanese home comfort foods. Not only is it so simple to make but also very super delicious to eat and filling. I love making this at home and eating it out.
For Japanese students this dish reminds them of how their mothers used to make it.
I hope you enjoy making and eating this dish as much as I do.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add the rice to the rice cooker. Wash and rinse it a few times until it is no longer cloudy. Cook the rice and leave it there until ready for serving.
- 2
Peel and slice carrots into rounds 0.5cm. Peel the onions and cut into quarter slices. Cut the mushrooms and broccoli florets in half. Slice the potatoes into quarters and set the vegetables aside.
- 3
Boil about 5 cups of water in a kettle to save time. On medium heat, in a medium sized sauce pan place the carrots and potatoes. Add the hot water enough to cover the vegetables and cook until soft. In a colander drain the vegetables and set the carrots and potatoes aside.
- 4
On medium heat, add oil in a wok and let it heat up for about a minute. Place onions in wok and sauté the onions until soft bad becomes translucent, then add the carrots and potatoes and stir. Cook it for about a minute. Now add broccoli or mangetout and mushrooms. Cook for about 1-2 minutes. Add the curry block along with then the hot water (from kettle) enough to cover the vegetables. Stir until the curry block has fully dissolved.
- 5
Let it simmer gently, turning down the heat to low for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally from time to time to prevent sauce and vegetables from sticking and burning. Then reduce to very low to keep warm.
- 6
In two separate baking trays place the flour in one (season with a small amount of pepper & salt - optional) and in the other the panko breadcrumbs. In a bowl gently beat the eggs.
- 7
In the meantime as the curry simmers, prepare the pork by pounding each loin piece one by one until 0.5cm thick. Season with salt & pepper (add as much or little as you like).
- 8
Take a piece of pork loin (I used pork) or chicken breast and fully coat it all over in the flour on both sides. Dip into the egg and let any excess egg drip back into the bowl. Then place the pork in the panko breadcrumbs and cover the meat with it on both sides (including the edges). Place this on a large baking tray. Repeat the steps until all the pork has been used and set aside.
- 9
In a wok or large pot add oil for shallow frying the breaded pork. On medium heat let the oil heat up. Drop a piece of panko breadcrumb into the oil. If it sizzles then the oil is ready. Place a piece of breaded meat into the wok. Let one side turn slightly golden brown before turning. Once brown turn over. Turn once more.
- 10
When golden brown transfer onto kitchen paper placed on top of a plate or tray to allow the excess oil to drain. Repeat the process until all meat has been used.
- 11
Place one breaded pork or chicken piece onto a chopping board. Cut into several slices (place remaining cooked meat in oven, on low temperature to keep warm) or leave whole. On a serving plate, add the rice, place the sliced meat next to it. Then ladle the curry sauce either on the side or on top of meat and rice (add as much or little as you wish). Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).

Japanese Curry using Curry Roux mix Japanese Curry using Curry Roux mix
Japanese curry is a classic home-cooked dish loved by both kids and adults. With store-bought curry roux, it's easy to make, making it a go-to meal for busy weekdays. Each household often has its own version with different ingredients or secret flavors, adding a personal touch.In Japan, people often add “fukujinzuke” on top of curry. It’s a sweet and crunchy pickle made from vegetables like daikon and lotus root, pickled in a soy sauce-based brine.Katsu curry is another popular version, where a crispy pork cutlet (tonkatsu) is served on top of the curry for a hearty meal.Seafood curry is also delicious — just swap out the chicken and carrots for shrimp, squid, or clams.For a tasty twist, try spinach and cheese curry by topping your curry with sautéed spinach and melted cheese.#japanesefood #CA2025

Tuna Katsu(cutlet) Curry Tuna Katsu(cutlet) Curry
Obviously the curry is originally an Indian dish. But since it's brought to Japan in 19th century via UK, had supported enthusiastically by all Japanese and uniquely localized. Now they've invented "Katsu Curry" and exported to the world.. interesting.As curry is one of the most popular dish in Japan today, everyone has its own recipe maybe. This my recipe is light, and less fat version. (of course you can simply buy "Japanese curry mix" and just follow its instruction if you want to know standard:)#eikoskitchen

LeBlanc (Persona 5) Inspired Coffee Curry LeBlanc (Persona 5) Inspired Coffee Curry
I'm a big fan of the Persona (Shin Megami Tensei) games and Persona 5 featured a restaurant, LeBlanc, which included some interesting ingredients in its curry recipe, so I tried to do it. This is also the first time I've tried to make Japanese curry from scratch and it came out very nicely. Mrs. Wyrm normally doesn't like curry, but this seems to have taken her heart as surely as the Phantom Thieves! :P
