This dish uses koya tofu but looks just like katsudon, and the broth soaks in for amazing flavor. Our family has come to love this version.
The origin of this recipe
Before payday, I really wanted to eat katsudon but didn't have any meat in the fridge, so I decided to try frying koya tofu.

Steps

1

Rehydrate the koya tofu in water. The key is to thoroughly drain the water from the koya tofu.
2

Mix the tempura batter with water. Aim for a slightly thick tempura batter (tempura batter makes it crispier and more like katsu).
3

Dip the koya tofu in the tempura batter, coat with breadcrumbs, and fry.
4

Bring the broth to a boil in a donburi pot and add thinly sliced onions. Bring to a boil again.
5

Prepare a bowl with rice. This way, when the katsu is placed on top, the rice won't become soggy.
6

Once the onions start to cook, cut the katsu and add it to the pot.
7

Crack and lightly beat the eggs, then pour them around the pot from the inside out. The key is not to overmix the eggs; it's best if the whites and yolks remain separate.
8

Cover and cook on high heat for 30 seconds, then serve in a bowl. Top with mitsuba and it's ready. If you prefer runny eggs, you might want to cook it for a shorter time.
