Katsu Don with Tonkatsu Sauce – Hiroko’s Recipes


This rice bowl dish is called ‘Sauce Katsu Don’ in Japan, and the ‘Sauce’ means ‘Tonkatsu’ Sauce. ‘Katsu’ is crumbed and fried Pork or Chicken. Today I used crumbed and fried Fish. This dish was my youngest sister’s favourite when she was a young child. To encourage her to study harder, my mother offered her that she would cook this dish whenever she achieved perfect 100% score in school tests. I remember that happened a few times.
