Japanese Katsudon
Katsudon is a classic Japanese dish, bringing together crispy fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu) simmered in a savory-sweet sauce with tender onions and soft, barely-set egg, all served over a bed of fluffy rice. It's a quick, comforting meal that comes together in just over twenty minutes. The sauce, a mix of vegetable stock, soy, mirin, and sugar, infuses the tonkatsu and rice with its rich flavor.

Cook Onion and Tonkatsu
Heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until it's softened and turns a deep golden brown. Place the tonkatsu in the center of the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the 150ml vegetable stock, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon mirin, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Pour about three-quarters of this mixture around the tonkatsu. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the tonkatsu to warm through.
