Katsudon (Japanese rice bowl with a pork cutlet, and egg)

I made Katsudon for our dinner last night.
Katsudon is one of a populer Japanese dish, a bowl of rice topped with a Tonkatsu, egg, and condiments.

Tonkatsu is a deep-fried pork cutlet (Japanese pork Schnitzel).
Japanese bread crumbs called "Panko", this doesn't include herbs and spice.
When you want to make Japanese bread crumbs, just grate leftover breads that are getting dry using with cheese grater.
You can also get Japanese bread crams in Japanese or Chinese shops.
But it's not practical to pay for expensive price for the product that is made from old breads.



My husband is a Dutch but he also like this dish.

lekker lekker
