I made a pork cutlet rice bowl for my lunch box several times in the past, but the rice got soggy and unappetizing. So I created this recipe that cuts down on the water.

Perhaps this is more like an omelet with slabs of pork cutlet. Recipe by Shijimi24

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 4to 5 large slices Tonkatsu pork cutlet
  2. 1Egg
  3. 1/4Onion
  4. 25 mlMentsuyu (3x concentrate)
  5. If serving at home
  6. 45 mlWater
  7. If packing in your bento
  8. 20 mlWater

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    I used a 15 cm pork cutlet that I bought at the supermarket. It was too big, so I didn't use it all.

  2. 2

    Put the water, mentsuyu, pork cutlet and onion in a sauce pan and heated on medium. If you don't like the onions crispy, microwave it first.

  3. 3

    After the sauce is bubbling, add half of the beaten egg. Pour the beaten egg in the centre because it takes more time to cook through. Cover with a lid and cook everything through.

  4. 4

    When 3 egg is set, pour the rest of the beaten egg around the edge. Cover with a lid and continue to cook shortly. When the egg is set to your liking, it's done.

  5. 5

    If serving over rice, transfer the cooked meat on a bed of warm cooked rice. If packing in your bento, cook for a little longer.

  6. 6

    If packing in your bento, mix the egg and sauce along the edge with your chopsticks to let the egg absorb the sauce. Cover with a lid and turn down the heat to low. Continue to cook until the sauce is mostly completely absorbed.

  7. 7

    Simmer the pork cutlet for longer, and as a result, the rice beneath won't become soggy.

  8. 8

    Using leftover karaage chicken, I made a kara-age rice bowl. I did the same with frozen minced meat cutlets.
