Chicken Katsudon

Chicken katsudon is a popular Japanese dish that can also be found in many restaurants in the United States. The name "katsudon" comes from two words: "tonkatsu" (fried pork cutlet) and "donburi" (rice bowl dish). In chicken katsudon, the pork cutlet is replaced with a breaded and fried chicken cutlet.

Here are the steps to make chicken katsudon:

1. Pound the chicken breast thin and season it with salt and pepper.

2. Coat the chicken cutlet in flour, then dip it in beaten eggs and coat it in panko (Japanese breadcrumbs).

3. Fry the chicken cutlet in oil until it is golden brown and crispy.

4. While the chicken is frying, cook the rice and prepare the sauce. The sauce is typically made with dashi (a type of Japanese broth), soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine), and sugar.

5. Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into thin strips and place it on top of the rice in a bowl.

6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with sliced green onions and beni shoga (pickled ginger).

Chicken katsudon is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is also relatively easy to make, which is why it is a staple in many Japanese restaurants. Enjoy your meal!
